From a young age, art has been a central part of my life, even though my school years offered little encouragement in pursuing the arts. It wasn't until later in life, during a high-stress period caring for my parents, that I rediscovered my passion for creativity. This pivotal moment led me to thread art, a medium that quickly became a therapeutic escape and a means of expression.
What began as a personal journey soon blossomed into a thriving Etsy business, attracting clients from around the world. My work gained recognition, and two of my pieces were exhibited at a prestigious museum in Denmark, marking a significant milestone in my artistic career.
This success sparked an intensive period of experimentation. I delved into various mediums and explored different subject matters, always driven by a desire to learn and grow. My inspiration comes from all living things, a passion further fuelled by my move to a serene farm surrounded by wildlife and our two beloved greyhounds. This environment has deeply influenced my current focus on animal-based art.
Today, I work with thread, coloured pencils, and wire, constantly amazed by how a simple line can evoke deep emotions and capture the essence of personality and character. My creative process is intuitive, guided by the medium and open to endless possibilities.
I am passionate about bringing my art to life and am always open for commissions. Each piece is a journey, and I look forward to sharing that journey with you.
My website is under construction and I will add a link for it soon.
