I am a textile artist creating scenes of London with scraps and my sewing machine. I capture the juxtapositions of the hard concrete and steel of London architecture with the soft, textural layers of fabric. I developed an innovative way of working, and love to reuse, giving unwanted textiles a new purpose in my art. ​
​
I am a member of The Bakery, artist-run gallery off Camden Passage, N1 (5 minutes from Angel tube station). I am one of nine artists who have a continuous display of their work at the gallery, and you will meet one of the artists if you visit (Thursday-Sunday 11-6).
​
The Kallin Family (my mum, sister, brother and I) previously exhibited Burgh House, July 2024 & March 2023 and Lauderdale House, May 2022.
I started my art in March 2021 and in this time I have had two solo exhibitions at the Arts Depot, North Finchley (March 2022 and July 2023). I have had my art included in group exhibitions, in the local press and given talks at Embroidery and Stitchers' groups. I have also sold art at fairs, including the Contemporary Textile and Art Fairs (Teddington). I am a member of the art community @artcan (https://www.artcan.org.uk/).

Please get in contact if you are interested in purchasing any artworks. I am always looking for more scenes to sew and happy to take commissions to sew your favourite scene.
