I am a mixed-media textile artist, weaver and owner of BEAUTIFULcloth SAORI Studio.

I practise my unique style of weaving, whilst holding regular workshops in SAORI creative weaving at my studio in Daventry, inspiring others to use their creativity to produce beautiful and individual woven cloth. My own weaving is textural and sculptural, using a variety of unexpected materials, found objects and techniques to create cloth which reflects my experiences, inspirations and explorations. In Japan they say ‘you weave yourself’!

I am particularly inspired by the marks, colours and textures of nature: whether it be interesting coastlines, the reflections and ripples in water, or weathered stone or rust. My curiosity and urge to explore new ideas and materials, means that my work is constantly changing and I maintain my passion and excitement with every new creation.

I enjoy taking commissions for my clients, including private individuals, hotels and restaurants.
