When I was a little girl, my grandparents lived in a house that can only be described as a chocolate box cottage; think thatched roof, a babbling stream and beautiful gardens. We visited on weekends and holidays, and I spent hours picking flowers, fascinated by the variety in the sea of colour that swept up the driveway. I’ve had this creative passion for flowers and design for as long as I can remember, and I have many fond memories of making cards and gifts from wood and other garden materials that I collected during my stays.

​

When I had a child of my own, this passion continued. My daughter discovered DC & Marvel films at a young age and was inspired by a character called 'Poison Ivy'. She loved that strong women were cast in key roles and so together, we crafted her a costume made with real Ivy! This triggered a spark in her which lead to her own passion in art & design.
