About

Textiles Graduate from Arts University Bournemouth, specialising in surface and print design for interiors, focusing on hand-painted qualities and vibrant colours.

An Interior collection exploring shape and form within Still Life compositions, using colour and gestural marks to give a contemporary feel to this principal genre of Western Art. These printed fabrics, papers and tiles are an experimentation of hand-drawn and painted qualities to energetically uplift an environment. I have investigated this theme through screen, digital, lino and UV print to enrich the surface of contrasting hard and soft materials. By experimenting with scale, form and shape, I have been able to apply my illustrative style to a Fine Art approach to Textiles which has refined my narrative as a designer. Having been inspired by the works of Patrick Heron and Mary Fedden, this collection combines solid shapes of negative space with looser textural elements layered upon one another.
