My artistic practice explores boundaries and preconceptions, in particular distinctions between craft and fine art and gender stereotyping. I am interested in how craft activities, traditionally associated with women and domesticity, such as knitting and embroidery, can be incorporated into a fine art practice.

I create subtle yet playful interventions that may be initially overlooked or misread, to highlight the understated, quiet virtues and philosophies of craft, challenge our perceptions, often lost in the fast pace of life in the twenty first century.
