Summary
A passionate artist and craftsperson. Skilled in hand embroidery and the creation of luxurious fabric flowers, drawn to pencils, paints, and felt. Always willing to learn new techniques, I source my inspiration in nature combined with a vivid imagination. I am seeking to fulfil my desire to make beautiful objects. I love art and art history particularly illuminated manuscripts and portrait miniatures. An excellent communicator, I embrace sharing skills and knowledge.
