I find inspiration in nature and form for my Glassware Rejuvenated collection.
Biog
I have a background in Art & Interior Design and a foreground in Motherhood.
My Handmade Dreams collection are collages of small-scale objects & figures, embroidery, deconstructed jewellery, decorative paper, artificial flowers, beads, pebbles…
They have a surreal and dreamlike quality with recurring themes such as nature, colour and discovery. Some include my hand stitched embroidery sketches.
The scenes grow organically. No two are the same. They allow me to indulge my desire to collect eye-catching trinkets!
My prints are made using rubber stamps and decorative paper collage. I love how different they turn out with each set of colours.
Almost any hobby, interest or other customisation can be incorporated into the box frames. The prints too can be personalised. I am happy to work to commission.
Keep your feet on the ground and let your imagination run away with itself.
