Artist statement
I use traditional techniques in my Millinery to create hats for both ladies and gentlemen. I work in felt, straw, textiles, leather and thermoplastics. The Art Nouveau and Art Deco eras inspire elements of my work as well as curves, textures and colours formed in nature. Upcyled, sustainably and ethically sourced materials are used where possible.
