​My creative practice explores my attachment to significant places in my life. Personal and collective memories linked to my South Wales heritage are of particular interest. Inspiration also comes from my immediate environment, especially my garden and the local area where I now live in Hertfordshire.

My present concern aims to create a sense of place in my practice directly connecting the work to the surroundings. To do this I am embracing materials that are found on my doorstep to create natural dyes and botanical contact prints. Through this use of natural  and found materials I am aiming to work more sustainably reducing my impact on the environment.

Hand embroidery is a core part of my artistic vocabulary. I am interested in the way hand stitch improves wellbeing and how its rhythmical qualities have relaxing and mindful benefits. My embroidered work often evolves in an unplanned way, I respond to shapes and textures, unpicking and rethinking until the work feels right. I also love the itinerant nature of hand stitch and its ability to travel with me from place to place.
