I can remember making daisy chains as a child feeling that first thrill of discovery that I was creating something directly from nature. Taking inspiration from the natural world allows for art healing and nature to all come together in one big creative adventure. Caroline originally trained in Fashion Design at Solent University and for several years designed clothes and scarves for an international textile agent. However in 1992 she decided to return to her first love embroidery and went to study Textile Design at Nottingham Trent University. In 1995 she started her own business designing and producing embroidered fabrics for Liberty including pictures cushions lighting and wall hangings. She also produced three one-off collections for John Lewis. Whilst exhibiting at the Country Living Spring Fair in 2002 the Japanese store Takashimaya selected Caroline and several other British makers to take part in a national craft promotion travelling and working across the East and West Coast of Japan. Caroline stayed in Japan to research the art of hapa-zome ikebana and the ethos wabi-sabi. In 2018 Caroline trained as an Arts Award Adviser and in Mental Health First Aid to further her knowledge on mindfulness and well-being. Caroline has always maintained a strong sense of global responsibility. She uses only natural fabrics her dyes are extracted from plants grown in her garden and/or in her local countryside and she invests a substantial amount of time and research into sourcing her materials. The art Caroline produces is inspired by the cycle of nature and simplicity and authenticity are key. Caroline lives in Norfolk UK with her husband daughter and pet dog.
