My mother always taught me that everyone needs both an intellectual job and an artisan craft. Drawing and making portraits has become that foundational craft for me.
With a master's from the Royal College of Art and a career in sustainable design, I am fascinated by how materials dictate form. My textile portraits began from a practical place: a pile of my children’s stained, torn clothes I couldn't throw away.
My subjects are the people in my apartment, friends who come for dinner, or cultural figures who feel like company. Because my studio time is fractured by motherhood, I am forced to stop overthinking. Fabric wrinkles, stretches, and rebels. I welcome those mistakes as character, letting the material turn familiar faces into rough, tactile, and completely human soft sculptures.
