Working from a studio in Hoylake, Wirral, I make paper flowers - intricate 3d rentitions of British wildflowers using materials coloured, where possible, using locally foraged dye plants. Primarily working with paper, wood and wire, I enjoy playing with scale, creating pieces ranging in size from small, delicate violets to giant, towering foxgloves. I deliver workshops and community art projects, sell a range of craft kits and am open to commissions.

My creative practice encompasses natural colour, driven by a desire to minimise my impact. Working largely with paper I also experiment with found materials, wool and wood. I am always amazed that a simple, wayside plant growing from a single seed may in fact require hundreds of handcut pieces and take weeks to recreate - I want to highlight the extraordinary beauty & detail of nature, ultimately encouraging a sense of connection with our natural environment.
