Textile Designer & Illustrator

Everything I blog are things that either inspire me, make me smile or I just generally think are beautiful!
Occasionally I will post things I have been working on, and if you want to see more of my work then visit my website by clicking on the link below!

I love flowers, birds, animals and anything else to do with nature and are my main inspiration in my work. My etsy shop will stock things to buy soon so keep checking by!
