Delicate,meaningful, unique designs to be given with love and cherished for a lifetime.

I work from my studio in our family home in Comrie, Perthshire, Scotland producing paper cuts, screen prints and other papery goodies!

Each one of my designs has been inspired by the words contained within it. Each fragment of text speaks about the important 'big' things in life, the things that really matter; love, family and friendship. I also love positive, uplifting quotes filled with hope and the endless possibilities of being.

Each one of my images begins life as a hand drawing which fills it with idiosyncrasies and gives it a character that no pixel can replicate, as Margaret Kilgallen said 'my hand will always be imperfect because it's human... And I think that's where the beauty is.'

The image is then hand cut; no laser cutters, no die cutting machines, just me, my scalpel and a bit of patience!

I hope that by lovingly handcrafting each one of my designs, I create a more honest, meaningful and soulful piece of work that resonates with you. Making them something truly special and unique to be given with love and treasured for a lifetime.
