About


We all deserve to live a creative life.

Creativity grounds us.
It has the power to calm the mind and nourish the soul, and we could all do with a little more of that.

Join me on my creative journey, as I share my work, inspirations and take you behind the scenes.

 The Secret Garden is one of my favourite childhood books, and from the moment Mary Lennox stepped through the ivy-covered door into that secret garden, it captivated me.

A place to slow down, appreciate the moment and create something.

 Because there is something so satisfying, so reassuring, about the process of creating. There is a healing power in it, whether it be cooking a meal from scratch for yourself and loved ones, using sticks and yarn to create something warm and woolly to wrap yourself up in and keep you warm, or planting a seed and nurturing it to life.
