A crocheted landscape with green fields, green and brown circular shapes surrounded by a cream and brown wall. There are star and round shapes in cream, brown and grey. The landscape is surrounded by blue.

I am a self-taught sensory artist who enjoys creating interactive tactile pieces to explore the reframing of simple joys as tools for healing through presence. My work invites recontextualisation of objects and experiences: connecting to ourselves and nature via the senses to rediscover what it means to welcome embodied living. 

I create in an intuitive free-flowing process which I call “yarn improvisation.” My designs seek to pay tribute to the beings, landscape and topography of the land that grew the wool I use for each piece. 

As a chronically ill and neurodivergent artist, making gives me a space to regulate, process, explore and heal by maintaining connection to my inner and outer environments. It is my hope that by sharing what I make, I can also provide a healing space for others.

I am a writer and advocate with a special interest in creativity, healing and recovery, mental health, living mindfully and reconnecting to ourselves and nature.
