Discover the Story in Every Stitch
My textile art is more than fabric and thread – it’s a journey of self-expression, storytelling, and creativity. Inspired by emotion, personal experiences, and the beauty of the world around me, each piece is designed to evoke feeling and connection.
From intricate free-motion embroidery to mixed-media fabric pieces, my work blends traditional techniques with contemporary artistry. Whether it’s a bespoke artwork, an expressive textile journal, or an experimental fabric composition, every creation is crafted with care and intention.
"HICAT"
To commemorate completing my Holistic Creative Therapy training, I created this textile art piece using 20 different techniques, each representing a unique aspect of creativity, healing, and self-expression. The quilt incorporates free-motion embroidery, appliqué, hand embroidery, patchwork, weaving, crochet, and fabric painting, blending both traditional and contemporary methods. I experimented with techniques like needle felting, fabric collage, and thread painting to add texture and depth. Some sections feature sashiko stitching for mindfulness, reverse appliqué for layered storytelling, and machine embroidery for intricate details. Each square tells a different story, symbolising growth, resilience, and the power of creative therapy. The result is a rich, tactile representation of my journey, where every stitch is a testament to the transformative nature of textile art.
