I am a weaver and textile designer based in Coventry. I established my textile design business in 2011. I design geometric textiles that explore pattern, contrast and colour.

2025 : Ikon Gallery residency, Birmingham

I am one of five artists who will be weaving on-site this Summer at the Ikon Gallery in Birmingham in conjunction with the gallery's exhibition 'Thread the Loom'.

The exhibition runs from 25 June - 7 September 2025. See the Ikon Gallery's website for more information. ​The other artists are Chantelle Folarin, Mahawa Keita, Clare Langford and Andrée Walker. Details of residency dates for each artist will be available nearer the time.

2014 - 2022 : Textile Art

In 2014, I was a participant in the Crafts Council’s Hothouse maker development programme. My experience on this scheme led me in a new direction, creating a series of textile art projects that explore ideas in science and mathematics: Permutations (2015); When Waves Collide (2016-18); Out of Synch (2019) and No Colour No Contrast (2021-2).

This work was shown at various venues and exhibitions including Handweavers Studio & Gallery, London; Farfield Mill, Sedbergh; National Centre for Craft & Design, Sleaford; New Brewery Arts, Cirencester; Complexity, Illinois USA.

​Education

I originally studied Computer Science and worked in various areas of technology from the early 1980s through to the late 2000s. I started weaving as a hobby around the year 2000. I eventually returned to formal education through a part-time HNC in Fashion & Textiles at Bradford College (2008-9) and a Textile Design BA at University College Falmouth (2009-11).
