Her textile work has been displayed in Covent Garden Store Allbirds and she has led three Arts Council England Funded projects including Interactive Weaves and From Soil to Cloth.
Inspired by her travels and the natural world her work combines embroidery, wrapping, knotting and hand weaving on her Harris and George Wood Floor Looms. She experiments with unusual materials of recycled copper, linen and vintage silk yarns to create wall decor, hanging copper moons and textile earrings.
