Contemporary knitted textiles for interiors and fashion accessories. Excited by the use of contemporary materials such as stainless steel, wire and monofilament in traditional craft.

My aim is to create contemporary knitted textiles for interiors and fashion accessories. My inspiration has come from Scandinavian and Japanese artists using constructed textiles in architectural spaces.

I am excited by the use of contemporary materials such as stainless steel, monofilament and paper in what is generally perceived as a very traditional craft. My work celebrates the intrinsic qualities of a knit: flexibility, elasticity, movement, and structural form.

Prior to studying textiles, (BA Hons Textiles - Manchester School of Art) I established and managed my own environmental consultancy and was awarded an MBE for Services to the Environment. The natural environment continues to be an important source of inspiration in my work. Design decisions are influenced by qualities of light, reflection and shadow found in nature and the landscape.

STUDIO: The Lodge House is a natural health practice, transformed for the weekend to exhibit varied artworks by local artists.
