About Me…

I am a mixed media artist, educator, and mother of three, based in Dallas, Texas, with roots in the Devon countryside of England. My work is deeply shaped by a lifelong relationship with making and by the women and makers who came before me. Growing up surrounded by embroidery, dressmaking, lace, watercolor, and handwork, I learned early that creativity can carry memory, comfort, and connection. Those materials and traditions still sit at the heart of my practice today. Each piece I create feels, in some way, like a conversation with both inheritance and identity — holding together the places I have come from and the life I now live.

Working in mixed media allows me to explore contrast with honesty and tenderness. Watercolor brings fluidity, movement, and surrender, while stitching introduces intention, care, and repair. One resists control, the other asks for it, and together they mirror so much of what it means to live, grieve, heal, and grow. My British heritage often finds its way into my work through florals, textiles, and quiet domestic references, while my life in Texas brings a different visual language of boldness, space, and symbol. Through both my art and teaching, I am drawn to the restorative, reflective power of creativity. My hope is that the work I make offers more than something beautiful to look at — that it creates space to pause, to feel, and to reconnect with the deeper parts of ourselves.
