WELCOME

We all have a story to tell, here is mine in brief.

WHERE IT STARTED

My Grandpa was the gentlest man, here we are at our village carnival sometime in the 80’s. I inherited from him many things you cannot touch, but something I could physically hold, a bundle of maps and postcards led me down a path I didn’t see ahead of me.
It began with the old postcards, playing, cutting and arranging simple silhouettes. Following an intensely brilliant year at Leeds College of Art and then a very conceptual Fine Art degree, I was excited to finally be heading down a creative road which felt right for me.
**I’m pretty keen on birds** and instinctively drawn to shapes in nature, particularly birds from the British Isles. Passionate about bird conservation, I hope to spark curiosity about wildlife and raise awareness about species decline through my collections.

FIRST PIECE

This is the very first piece I made using my Grandpa’s collection, I named it ‘Blue Tit Thief’
Now…. I get my milk delivered in glass bottles but these modern-day Blue Tits haven’t caught on that they can steal my milk.
Which I’m sort of glad and sad about all at the same time.

WHERE YOU’LL FIND ME

I have spent the last twelve years or so working from my second home - a studio space within an historic textile mill in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire.

I run my business as sustainably as I can, regularly reviewing the products I make and searching for new ways to create less impact on our environment. I work with British companies and suppliers using FSC-sourced paper wherever we can.

Alternatively, you may find me out and about, binoculars in hand exploring any landscape that might be good for birds and other wildness!
