About Me

​

For many years I ran an online shop buying and selling antique & vintage textiles and clothing - my clients included theatre props departments and TV studios. I went on to restore antique textiles and  worked with local museums, stately homes, interior designers and private clients. I also taught textiles and hand embroidery in adult education and museums. In 2022 I decided to change careers and pull together all the things I've learned and lived through to train as an Arts Counsellor.   ​

​

Having completed level 5 City & Guilds training in Arts For Health And Wellbeing I'm now working towards completing City & Guilds level 7 (MA equivalent) in Transpersonal Arts Counselling. I have a BA in Creative Studies/Creative Writing, and a Foundation BTEC in Art. 

 

I work with a variety of art media including stitch, drawing, writing, painting, photography and textile art. I work loosely in my own practice, instinctually, being more interested in the process than the outcome. I live by the South Downs Way and I'm inspired by the shape of the landscape, the changing light, sunrises, moonlight, the circling seasons and the elements. I'm often out with my sketchbook and camera collecting rocks, flowers and bones.
