nice to meet you...
Hi, I’m Gill! A maker and an artist, my creative journey is in response to the colours, textures and inspirations of the various countries I have called home. Working with multiple layers of paint, fabric, collage, embroidery and machine stitching, I often incorporate vintage, rescued or repurposed fabrics into my work: my art and portraits are about connections and the stories told through art: I allude to the fragility of time, life and memory keeping, examining the things that leave their mark and the beauty found in imperfection. My philosophy explores the essence of stitching itself; holding things together, mending them, altering them and giving them a second chance - the threads that connects our shared experience. I hope my art finds a way to help you tell your story x

Gill is a hugely talented artist and has an amazing eye for detail. She brings her artwork to life and I have been mesmerized by some of her work. She recently painted a beautiful portrait of my son, worked to a tight deadline and delivered a great painting. She also went the extra mile to ensure it was delivered to me in the UK as a framed piece and on time. Gill. I'm honoured to have your art work

We commissioned a piece of art to commemorate a significant birthday, drawing inspiration from the stunning portraits previously created by Gill. The resulting portrait perfectly embodies our vision: Gill skillfully captured the subject's infectious and lovely personality, while the vibrant and colorful fabric mirrors her zest for life.

I recently had the pleasure of commissioning portraits of my daughters from Gill, the entire process was a joy from start to finish. Not only was Gill skilled in capturing the likeness and essence of my girls but Gill also showed a deep understanding of color, composition and style, the results are true works of art that will be deeply treasured, Gill worked diligently to ensure that the finished art works were even better than what I envisioned
