I am an Irish textile artist based in Edinburgh, who predominantly works in my studio using a diverse range of art, design & craft methods: primarily creating artwork that responds to socio-political, cultural and environmental issues. My current studio-based project focuses on the incompetent Tory government and the unpredictability and uncertainties Post-Brexit: where I am responding to the ongoing confusion, possible impacts on the economy, travel, job stabilities, living cost crisis and border issues.

Colour, stitch, texture, research, imagery and text are key elements used within the designing and making of my work: analysing and combining historic techniques with contemporary design ideas to create unique textile artworks. I primarily use needlework to capture intricate stories: emblematically unravelling and re-working aspects of political and cultural issues.
