I get often get messages asking me about my inspiration so I thought I’d share a little more about what inspires me and my creative process. Here are some insights into how I work, hopefully this can inspire your own creative journey.
We finally made it all the way to Cornwall over Christmas on a family visit and pit stopped at the Eden Project. Wow. What a place! READ MORE
For our summer holidays, we went over to the Isle of Man for practice week of the TT. It was the first time I’ve joined my husband Toby on the trip, actually managed to both pack for camping for one week on the bike, woohoo! The weather was pretty wet and windy for most the week so not a lot of action on the track, but we did get to see more of the island.
Following the launch of new art prints, I thought I’d share some of the inspiration behind my drawings. Living in Staffordshire, I’ve got some great National Trust properties nearby, and love exploring them all throughout the year.

I finally got round to editing our Croatia photos, these things take time when you have 800 or so! Here’s a very small edit from Plitvice National Park from August, knowing how busy it is in high season we opted for the two day pass to get round the park, and definitely recommend it! The queues were a bit mad, even getting there at 7am when it opens, but thankfully a 2 day pass meant we could walk straight in on the second day. Also doing the boats and popular waterfalls super early is recommended to avoid getting stuck in queues during the peak season.
Over the 2 days we walked the perimeter of the main lakes as well as some of the quieter woodland trails and even had a row in a boat!
The turquoise blue of the lakes is striking and unbelievably clear, the colours and reflections are really quite unique.
As part of my MA Textile Design at Birmingham City University, I’ve been exploring the concept of Biophilia as the inspiration for my current body of work.
Really pleased to be included in the Designer Insights feature by Terry’s Fabric. Here’s my top choices inspired by tropical pattern, bright botanicals and hand crafted natural detailing.
