From a fashion-obsessed teenager to a journalism undergraduate, piles of magazines have featured heavily throughout my life. Nowadays, my precious collection is both inspiration and raw material for my collages.

I am inspired by the quiet moments of daily life; years of staying at home full time to raise my children taught me how to be present and find beauty in the most seemingly mundane things.

My work features strong saturated colours and a clean, contemporary style, with more than a hint of nostalgia. I love blending old and new papers, decades, sometimes centuries apart. Each collage is entirely handmade and my prints and cards are as close to the original image as possible.

I work from my home studio in Lancashire.
