I’ve been noticing a growing sense of freedom and curiosity within myself, which I think is reflected in my latest work (I’ll be exhibiting this with @westartcollective later this month, more on that soon!)

My recent stuff feels more raw, less controlled, and pretty vulnerable. I’ve been exploring themes of romance—both with oneself and with others—and femininity based on my personal experiences/my journey of reconnecting with my body and self.
I’ve also been hooked on hyper-feminine aesthetics which I think is really interesting. My mind is currently just a Pinterest mood board filled with shades of pink, rococo paintings, bows, ribbons, frills, and all that celebrates soft, delicate beauty.

Watch until the end for a guest appearance..🐾

A commission for Shona celebrating her parents 50th wedding anniversary ⚜️

This lovely shot of Shona’s parents was taken during a belated graduation celebration for Shona. Shona’s mum wasn’t able to attend the actual ceremony in Belfast last Summer and so the family hired a photographer (@alanrennie ), borrowed a mortar board & gown and did their own graduation shoot in their hometown of Edinburgh.

She painted a detailed picture of her parents and how special they are to each other. I was told all about their Scottish backgrounds, the importance of flowers and flower arranging, their family tartan, and even their love of building Lego together at Christmas (🥹)

I framed Shona’s mum and dad with a brightly coloured floral arch, incorporated daisies and thistles, plus pops of golden confetti as a nod towards their golden wedding anniversary. (Spot the Leith tartan colours, too!)

Thanks for your trust, Shona x

❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥
Thought I’d start spreading that February love a little early with some stitched sacred hearts from one of my favourite commissions…

The brief?
Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo & Juliet, 70’s vibes and Russian style prison tattoos.
Doesn’t get any cooler than that, does it?🔥🪭

📌 I’d love to do a design like this again.
Hit me up if it’s your kind of thing!

Completed stitched wedding photo commission for @rosie.starrs 💐🪡

Size: Medium (8x6”)

Big thanks to Rosie for trusting me with this gorgeous photo from her wedding day. Creating this piece was energising and just what I needed.
I also got to incorporate some nice classic embroidery techniques (spot those woven roses!)

Rosie knew exactly what she wanted with her design and I have to say, huge respect for her commitment to the ‘less is more’ approach.
The subtlety combined with the clusters of colour against black and white works so well.

HEY!

🐹 🤝 🎡

Thought I’d show my face to new followers and also use this as an opportunity to moan! about! the! algorithm!!!

As an artist on Instagram, I feel more and more like a tired little hamster on a wheel.

The engagement on Instagram this year has been soooo poor. It feels pretty much useless having an IG account at this point. I feel so frustrated by how much effort artists now have to put into creating a very specific type of content on this platform (looking at u, reels) and how stupidly time consuming this process is.

It feels impossible to balance a full time job, TWD, and creating engaging videos that take hours to film and edit. Not to mention the fact that reels is not fit for purpose.

The amount of times I’ve spent my afternoon filming and editing a reel, for it to then crash without saving! It’s so disheartening and makes me avoid posting anything at all.

Idk, feels like trying to chase the TikTok crowd just isn’t something that feels right for me, and authenticity is so important in everything I do.

Ok thanks for listening, have a tip-top Sunday and thanks for following xxx

This year’s submission for @festivalpovera (loosely) under their theme of ‘build your own robot overlord’ @bighandsbar ⚡️⚡️⚡️

It felt so wrong stitching daft things onto these insanely beautiful vintage found photographs…but then that was sort of the point! 🎞️

I wanted to highlight our obsession with screens, social media, how we struggle to just feel and appreciate moments as they are without reaching for our phones to document it.
The @tsrobinson23 reference also worked too well to not include…🤳🏻

Thought this post was appropriate given the weather in Manchester today
🌧💧☔️☁️💧

This @fionasaxtonphotography photo is part of a series of beautiful photographs from a wedding she shot late last year.

The blend of delicate vintage attire with the modern and gritty Northern backdrop in all its concrete glory is just everythingggg to me! 😍🫶🏼

🍄 ‘Interior in Burnage’ on display in @temple_mcr

There was a point during @festivalpovera where I saw a couple of people that weren’t my Mum, Conor or Claire, walk up to my drawings and look at them. Afterwards they talked amongst themselves and I’m pretty sure I heard them mention ‘Lucien Freud’ and ‘postcard masterpieces’. 🖼

Anyway, they’re still up on the walls for the time being so if you’re curious head down into the toilet bar.

Big thanks to @temple_mcr for displaying them, thanks guys. @bighandsbar . x
