Whimsical Collages That Spark the Imagination

Explore enchanting artwork that blends creativity, storytelling, and magic to captivate your senses.

Enchanting 3-Dimensional Pieces That Tell a Story

I also use forgotten ephemera and by drawing on the visual language of fairytales and folklore, I repurpose discarded objects and paper ephemera, giving them new context and meaning. I do not restore these artefacts, as I like to see the life an object has already lived. Instead, I reimagine them, allowing the wear and tear to contribute to their story and thereby create new and unique whimsical tale.

Through this process, I aim to evoke a sense of nostalgia and rekindle that childlike feeling of possibility—the belief that one can be anyone and do anything.

🌙 Create Your Fairytale Village – Workshop

ONLY TWO SPACES LEFT

Step into a tiny, intimate circle of no more than six people, where imagination comes alive under your fingertips. In this in-person workshop, I will guide you through the creation of your very own Fairytale Village using stitch, a mix of collected and bought papers, and any ephemera you wish to bring along.

You will need your sewing machine and a basic paint box, and together we’ll weave colour, texture, and story into your magical place. Each element — from a crooked little house to a hidden garden — becomes part of your unique narrative, a story told entirely by your hands.

This workshop is for dreamers, makers, and anyone ready to step sideways from the ordinary into a space where play, reflection, and wonder are the rules. Laughter, creativity, and quiet moments of discovery are all guaranteed.

By the end of the session, you’ll have a tangible, whimsical village — a little world of your own making — and a memory of having shared something truly magical with kindred spirits.

Spaces are limited — with just six seats, each person will have room to dream, create, and bring their own Fairytale Village to life.
