About

I was taught by my mother at a young age and it was always the craft we would spend time together doing. Both my parents were creative and they were always an inspiration to me. They always encouraged me to be creative. Growing up we were always doing some new project or learning a new creative skill.

I’ve always been a creative person and pursued art throughout college and university. Throughout this time, I always found embroidery to be a safe and fun space to express my creativity and to help centre myself again.

Just before turning 30, I experienced burnout and exhaustion through my job and grief from the loss of a loved one. This caused knock-on effects to my mental health. I then took the brave step of leaving my job to pursue my passion and dream of creating embroideries for people to enjoy and to spread the message of being mindful and being creative - this is truly an amazing healer and embroidery is a great way to tap into that healing!

I have used my skills in embroidery and art and realised how healing and comforting having a creative outlet is for anyone who struggles with day-to-day life, anxiety or mental health issues in general and I started creating more frequently as a result.

Having been a teacher in the past, I want to continue teaching people and help them create and learn the skills to create their own art and embroidery. If you find yourself needing more guidance then consider coming along to one of my in-person classes.
