I’m a papercutting artist with over 10 years’ experience, finding calm in the intricate rhythm of handcrafting. Originally from southern England, I moved to Argyll in 2022 with my family, where the landscapes inspire much of my work.
I began papercutting as I wanted a hobby I could do at home around my children.
Each piece is a patient, detailed creation, drawn and cut by hand using a scalpel. I love all things crafting but there is something about creating with paper that is very mindful – a quiet celebration of nature and the beauty found in slowing down to make by hand.
I recently have introduced the use of locally made seaweed paper to my creations, which give them a bit of depth and texture.
My designs are sometimes simple and geometric, cut from a single piece of white paper – whilst others are layered collages of cosy, countryside scenes.
