Today
Studio practice
Creating hand-painted silk scarves, wall pieces and bespoke commissions from her studio.
“Each piece begins as a painting, colour moving naturally through pure silk fibres.”
From brush to silk
The creative process
No templates, no mass production, every artwork is individually painted, making each piece genuinely unique.
Pure silk canvas
Each piece starts on the finest white silk, a luminous surface ready to receive colour.
Freehand brushwork
Professional dyes applied by hand, allowing pigments to flow and blend organically.
Steam setting
Heat permanently bonds colour to fibre, creating a durable, luminous finish.
Finished artwork
Signed, finished and beautifully presented, ready to wear, display or gift.
