On Saturday 9 and Sunday 10 December several collective studios and artists’ houses in West Camberwell will be opening their doors to to art lovers, collectors and gift seekers. Here at 6 Empress Mews, my studio and home since 2015, I’ll be showing my new collection of collages, decoupaged glass dishes and decorative objects, as well as greeting cards, prints and jewellery. I’ll also have special studio offers including workshop vouchers (great Christmas presents!), discontinued stock, and the book House of Cards: step-by-step projects for beautiful handmade greetings cards.

ARTIST & MAKER

My work is often humorous and whimsical – unless my romantic side takes over and then we enter into a fairy-tale territory of old-fashioned script, pages of books and music scores populated by chivalrous gentlemen, glamorous ladies, butterflies and rabbits.
