I am a textile artist working with free-machine embroidery to decorate the clothing and soft furnishings that I make, mainly on a commission basis. Inspired by flora and fauna I study the details of each animal or flower to recreate it in stitch. The rich colours and way that light catches on say a bird’s wing or lilies petal is recreated with my process of drawing and painting with thread. Each piece becomes a little treasure reminding the wearer or owner of how precious our wildlife is and how surprising colours can be found in everyday creatures and plants.

I am a knitwear designer and maker who works with wool. I believe that the qualities and character of wool give a long lasting garment which is unmatched for warmth and breathability. I love working with colour and I use yarn from a Scottish mill to make hand framed jackets, sweaters and hats. They are fulled to produce soft warm pieces. I live and work in Morar in the northwest highlands of Scotland and after many years of having a shop, I now work from a studio in my garden.
