Gathered & Stitched

My Gallery

This is a gathering of the pieces I’ve stitched, layered and built over the years — work that begins with a walk, a colour, a texture I can’t stop thinking about. Take your time. I hope something here catches your eye the way it once caught mine.

01 — Textile Work

Mixed Media

Where fabric meets paper, paint and the odd found thing. These are the pieces where I let the materials lead the way.
