Paris, France

Sharing unearthed discoveries and spreading wearable handmade delights around the world.

From Perth, Western Australia to Paris, France, to follow a dreamy dream and a romantic notion to live and work in the city of love and lights. Like many artists in this fabulous city, I live and work in a charming little one room studio, looking through my window over the hiddledy piggledy roof-tops and down to the Canal Saint-Martin. Cute and cosy, I craft away in the clouds at my bench while the hustle and bustle of daily life carries on in the street below. Daily walks and weekend jaunts to the flea markets turn up pocketfuls of Parisian preciousness that delight my senses and beg to be combined with rustic notions and knick-knacks from Australia. Forging a new vernacular for my craft, the results are somewhat sophisticated tribal chic, bridging the cultural gap between the two lands at opposite ends of the earth.

I am a purveyor of beautiful things with a distinct leaning always towards nature. Anything I find that catches my eye I enjoy forging into wearable form. Sometimes the creative process consists of merely turning up what is already there. Working in such a way I think it's possible to capture in a small but significant way a little piece of the universe which is then worn in a small but special way, everyday.
