I am a Yorkshire-based textile artist specialising in embroidery, working from my home studio by the sea in Scarborough. Using fabric and thread, I create textile drawings and objects that explore storytelling through material, process, and memory.

My practice is rooted in autobiographical narratives, with a particular focus on mental health and personal experience. Through slow, tactile processes, I use stitch as a form of drawing, translating emotion and lived experience into cloth.

I work across traditional and digital textile techniques, including hand embroidery, appliqué, and English patchwork, alongside digitally embroidered drawings produced using a Pfaff Creative 3.0 sewing and embroidery machine. This hybrid approach allows me to investigate the intersection of craft, technology, and storytelling.

My work has been exhibited in museums and heritage sites across the North of England, including Whitby Museum, Sunny Bank Mills, and the Thackray Museum of Medicine.

Alongside my studio practice, I develop and deliver textile workshops and participatory projects. Community engagement is a central strand of my work, with projects across Yorkshire that support people in finding their creative voice through stitch.

I have collaborated with a range of cultural and creative organisations, including Leeds Playhouse, Chrysalis Arts, and The Yorkshire Sculpture Park.
