Welcome to my felt page, I’m glad you took the time to stop by.

As a quilling artist, the first question I’m always asked, is “what is quilling?” Long story short, I use strips of paper; curled, rolled, folded and manipulated to create works of art. It’s an ancient art, originally from Italy in the Middle Ages, where it was used to decorate religious icons.

My contemporary take on the art allows me to explore the endless ways paper can make my ideas come to life. Inspiration comes from so many unexpected places. Of course nature, in all her beauty, is constantly encouraging me to produce breathtaking landscapes, showcase our bird life, and mix colours that shouldn’t work but do! I love typography, quirky animals and vibrant tropical flowers. Nothing is outside the realm of quilling...even steampunk is awesome!

I love the challenge of commissions, whether it’s your beloved pet, baby’s name, or an inspirational word, I’m happy to chat and create something unique for you.
