I am a multidisciplinary designer with a particular affinity for ceramics, creating collectable treasures inspired by island living and the quiet beauty of everyday rituals. Working intuitively across materials, I design objects that bring texture, story, and a sense of place into the spaces they inhabit.

I am an emerging self-taught artist with multiple awards since I first began drawing and painting in 2020. I have developed my artistic practice and technical skill with patience and emotional connection that is obvious throughout my work.

I’m a potter and have been working with clay for about 8 years since moving to Straddie. I love creating large, functional ceramics for everyday and entertainment use, focusing mainly on slab building with an informal, imperfect effect. 

My lamps are created from my love of textiles that I have gathered from across the globe - ikats, indigo, barkcloth, ecodyes, European linens or just plain funky. My joy comes from teaming these with amazing bases.

My practice explores colour, texture, and botanical forms through a contemporary feminist lens. Rather than depicting coastal landscapes in a traditional sense, I am drawn to the overlooked details—fragments of flora, shifting textures, and intimate moments that reshape how a place can be seen and felt.
