About My Work

From clothing to coastlines, I transform discarded textiles into textured seascapes - landscapes of memory, stillness, and quiet power.

For twenty years I worked within the fashion industry as a retail buyer, immersed in fabric, production, and visual storytelling. Over time, I witnessed firsthand the environmental impact of large-scale clothing production and overconsumption. That experience now underpins my practice.

Today, I reclaim fabric waste and re-situate it within layered coastal landscapes. Frayed fibres, salvaged cloth, ghost nets, surfboard fibreglass and found materials are embedded into paint, creating sculptural surfaces that echo the rhythm, force, and movement of the sea.

To me, cloth and landscape are deeply connected - both shaped by pressure, time, and memory.

The ocean is my subject, but it is also a place of containment and release. Of tension and tranquillity. While my work often evokes stillness, it carries an undercurrent of transformation - materials once associated with excess becoming objects of permanence and reflection.

Many of my commissions incorporate personal materials: fragments of wedding dresses, childhood garments, rope from a favourite cove. These pieces move beyond depiction. They become vessels for lived experience.

Alongside my studio practice, I lead creative experiences rooted in the same belief - that making with our hands reconnects us to presence. Whether through a painting or a shared session, my work invites a slower kind of looking. A closer kind of feeling.

I am interested in what we choose to preserve. What we discard. And how material - like the tide - can always be reimagined.
