I began hand embroidery under the instruction of Mari Nishimura at the Japan Art Craft Association in 2016 and was immediately taken by the beauty of the art form.

I moved to Ireland in 2017 for family reasons but have continued doing embroidery by myself.

I started taking online embroidery classes at the Royal School of Needlework in Hampton Court Palace in London from Jan 2022. I completed the Certificate Course in 2023, tutored by Jen Goodwin, fellow of the RSN, and have continued my studies with her through the Diploma course, due for completion in 2027 or 2028.

I held my first embroidery exhibition at the Spiral Market in the summer of 2023. I have been concentrating on creating items using Irish and Italian linen with my freestyle and botanical embroidery as well as tea towels and bags using well-made Irish linen.
