I create unique handmade crafts using the finest Harris Tweed, alongside intricate knitting and crochet designs. Inspired by the beauty of nature, my work reflects the colour, textures, and patterns found in the wild landscapes of Scotland and beyond.

This may involve journeying into the wilderness, contemplating a flower, or delving into the realm of abstraction. With much of my work focusing on mountains, I gravitate toward bold lines, high contrast, and a stylized form of expression, striving […]
