Combining the healing powers of nature and creativity.
I create original embroidered art, hand made journals and embroidery kits. I am inspired by the changing shapes, colours and textures of plants with the passing of time. Each season brings it’s own lessons, discoveries and challenges for me to experience and document, both in my artwork and here on my blog.
