About
A Cornish mixed media Textile Print Designer, I pride myself on attention to detail and concepts whilst creating intricate illustrations for skilled print design. Influenced by my childhood growing up in North Cornwall, my work pledges my sustainable beliefs, whilst capturing colour palettes in a way that adds a coastal flair to my designs.
Still Here, is a contemporary textile print collection inspired by my Cornish upbringing and deep connection to the coast. The collection explores Cornwall through its natural forms, textures and colours, while also questioning the impact of second-home ownership on local communities and the changing character of the region. Ironically, the collection was designed with high-end interior spaces and second-home owners in mind, tailoring the prints to a market with the financial means to purchase coastal properties. This contradiction became an important part of the project, highlighting the tension between celebrating Cornwall’s identity and contributing to the very market that can threaten it.
