Since studying Textile Design at West Surrey College of Art and Design in Farnham (later the UCA), I have been designing and creating for over 30 years, primarily within the world of fashion and textiles.

I work from my cottage on the Surrey and Hampshire border, where I live with my husband and two boys.

My studio used to be full of silk screens and fabric dyes, but for many years now I have created my designs digitally. I still love that handpainted feel only a paintbrush can achieve and try to paint something new every day.

My textile designs have been featured on a huge range of products, from womenswear to childrenswear, curtains to bedding, umbrellas to giftware. I create bespoke scarves and card ranges, and also run creative workshops for adults and children.
