Instagram

Instagram has become a great platform to share work in progress, new collections, thoughts and process. 

Looking at the work of other artists, printmakers, photographers, designers, stylists, makers and all kinds of talented people has become a constant source of inspiration to me. As has the collaboration and creative support that I receive from the many wonderful and generous individuals I interact with daily. 
See you there.
