Welcome to my world of embroidery, illustration & textile art where I explore nature’s details through paint and thread.

Working mainly with watercolours in combination with hand embroidery, I use upcycled textiles as my canvas to make embroidered paintings. I also like to paint on paper with watercolours exploring botanical details, vibrant colours and the playfulness of storybook illustrations.
