I’m a mixed media embroidery artist. I work on collections of items, from Architecture to Ornithology, as well as fruit, vegetables and sea-life. I use vintage music manuscript paper, coloured card, gold leaf, vintage maps and more, whilst stitching with Pearl Cotton Thread, mostly in black or royal blue thread. My work is a modern take on embroidery, using simplistic embroidery techniques to create minimalistic designs. My work is mostly inspired by Scottish Architecture and Wildlife.
