No child but must remember laying his head in the grass, staring into the infinitesimal forest and seeing it grow populous with fairy armies.
~Robert Louis Stevenson
I have been felting for fifteen years and have taught workshops for adults and children in North America, Europe, and Aotearoa New Zealand. My animals and birds, made from wool and silk, are created using a combination of wet felting and needle felting. My figures are hand-sewn from natural fibres. I began felting and doll-making for my children, creating worlds for their imaginations to roam. So, my pieces are inspired by them, foremost, and by a love for vintage illustration and the natural world. I work out of a small home studio surrounded by a cacophony of cicadas and children. Alongside felting, I study Fine Arts, Art History, and English at the University of Auckland.
Thank you for visiting,
