About Me

I am an artist & maker based in a little studio in the very lovely north laine of brighton. When I'm not painting or drawing, I like to customize various garments, transforming them into things of loveliness ;) I am a big fan of petticoats, corsets, coloured tights, 50's garb and such like. So if you see someone inappropriately dressed wandering the environs of the north laines, chances are, it's probably me..

My Interests

collecting old buttons,

lace, material, bits & bobs... sketching and making mini notebooks that suits the tini-ness of my writing. Apple eating, dancing and... dressing up- always.
