About

Doux Cœur — “gentle heart” in French.

Hand-stitched tactile textile with a raised geometric path on natural linen

Made for the hands

​Each piece begins with the hands. I think about where they might go, what they might follow and where they might pause. I use line, texture and space to make pieces that can be held, felt and explored at your own pace.

​

Mindfulness is part of the way I work. I think about how following a line or feeling a texture can offer a simple point of focus and bring attention back to the moment.

​

The work is made for adults and is quiet and understated. Each piece sits somewhere between a tactile object and a small piece of textile art. It can be explored alone or shared with another person.
