Since childhood, I have been captivated by the beauty of hidden keepsakes and vintage treasures. I recall the thrill of unearthing items from the back of bureaus, tucked away in cabinets, and hidden in drawers. My Mum had a delightful Chinese cabinet filled with snippets of Victorian lace, bobbins, buttons, and trinkets. These objects sparked my imagination, leading me to create stories—where did they come from? Was the lace from the hem of a spirited suffragette, or was the button a sentimental keepsake from a soldier to his beloved?

With a first-class degree in Graphic Design and over a decade of experience in the commercial and editorial design world, my curiosity about forgotten objects has only deepened. You’ll often find me braving all weathers at antiques fairs across the UK, salvaging items that have served their original purpose yet still hold captivating stories. I take immense joy in researching their practical use, cultural significance, and rich history.

Through my assemblage art, I strive to tell these stories by elevating these curiosities into exquisite collections that act as mini museums, offering a snapshot of a bygone era. Each year, I create a couple collections of work; my latest collection, titled Sea of Change, can be explored here.

I live and work in London with my husband and two children. When I’m not immersed in creating art, you’ll find me tending to my garden, restoring our Victorian townhouse and filling it with antique furniture, or enjoying the seaside with a glass of wine in Hastings Old Town.
