Wendy's rugs take time to craft
'Garden of Virtue' on the tufting frame. 2018 has been an incredibly busy year for me. Most times I feel like a spinning top circling at break-neck speed, juggling all that running a small business entails. However, temporarily removed from the day to day business whilst exhibiting at ICFF New...

The Inspiration for Chinese Garden of Virtue
For as long as I recall, I’ve been hugely inspired by Chinese symbolism and its close links to nature.

Chinese Philosophy - The Inspiration for Good Fortune & Cranes In Trees
Chinese philosophy provides the inspiration for much of my current work. From my perspective, it makes perfect sense. The philosophy focuses on the relationship between the various elements in nature (Wood, Water, Fire, Metal, Earth). Man is seen as a crucial component of this natural world and his ability to...
