CRAFT: Textile - Needle Felt Art

REGION: UK

A self-taught needle-felt artist based in the UK, she creates lifelike animal sculptures inspired by her love of art and animals. Her work is particularly meaningful to those who have lost a beloved pet, capturing the distinctive character, markings and individual traits that make each animal special.

Having experienced the profound sense of loss that follows the death of a cherished companion, she understands the emotional significance of preserving their memory. Through the delicate, hands-on process of needle felting, she seeks to recreate not just an animal’s appearance, but also something of its unique personality, offering owners a tangible and lasting connection to a much-loved friend.
