Having grown up and lived in the countryside, nature has always been an inspiration to my arts and crafts. After studying art at university, I worked as a primary school teacher and particularly enjoyed leading art across my school. I work with a range of media from drawing, painting, printing and crafting with wood.
After the birth of my first child, and taking a break from a teaching career, I returned to crafting as a way of reconnecting with my creative roots. I have found so much joy in creating little personal gifts using the natural resources around me. Collecting wood, sticks and stones with my little boy and seeing his face when I turn them into his favourite animals, has inspired me to share my creations with others.
