In my opinion, working on the palette and preparing the colours are the key aspects and the most experimental. It is a real challenge, but it is extremely gratifying as you know that the result can be great. With my first experiment I obtained a beautiful pink from avocado skin and stone.

Nature, with its seasons, is the source of my raw materials and dyes and my source of inspiration. It is also my main concern, as well as the subject of my pieces. I see a circularity in this way of making which, I think, creates a connection between nature and my clients.

I am conscious of the dramatic damages of the textile industry on the environment and, since the beginning, I decided to reduce the impact of my practice using only natural fabrics, dyes and materials. I protect the inspiration of my work.

I undertook two artist residencies, at Bamford and with The Skopelos Foundation for the Arts, in Greece. I mainly work on a commission basis but I equally enjoy expressing my own inspiration freely, through pieces which can be functional as well as purely artistic.
