* Artistic practice:-

My artistic practice explores the relationship between botanical printmaking and textile art. Working with collected and pressed plants. I create prints that capture the delicate structures and transient beauty of the natural world. Through hand and machine embroidery, I extend these impressions, introducing texture, line and tactile dimensions to each work. 

My work is rooted in observation, collecting and deep appreciation for nature. each piece becomes a personal record of time spent in the landscape, reflecting on fragility, preservation and the details that are often overlooked.

I am based in Newcastle, Kwa-zulu Natal and are practising art since 2004.
