‘I take much of my inspiration from the natural surroundings of where I live, capturing the seasonal changes and gathering materials from walks in the forest with my daughter and trusty pug, Sniff.

I am a keen collector, and surround myself with an eclectic mix of items throughout my home. I take great pleasure in these items, which I source from near and far: anywhere from local boot fairs and yard sales to antique centres around the world.

Never one to follow the “less is more” approach, I find by decorating my home with objects I love, allows me to further express my creative side, and this is also reflected in my work. Intricate layers of newspaper, collage and scripts are all elements I return to again and again.’
