Hello and welcome!
The art of the hand is everything to me from the beauty of calligraphic gesture to the abstract painted line.
Embroidery is my direct way to express the unique emotions of a person and place through ‘writing with a needle’. This is to stitch their handwriting directly by hand and by eye into cloth.
As a professional freelancer, I work with leading actors on and off set to build confidence with writing and calligraphy for the film & TV industry.

“What an extraordinary adventure this has been. You have been utterly wonderful and we have loved working with you over the last few weeks. Thank you. I don’t think any of us really anticipated just quite what a hit it was going to be - from the first public opening on Wednesday morning to the close last night then some 20,700 people walked through the door - far far beyond anyone's best estimates. Not only that but you must all have seen and experienced the positive sentiments that people expressed about the whole endeavour. I hope you are as proud to have played a part in it as we are.”
