My Story

A Brief History

About Me – Jane

I graduated in 1998 with a degree in Printed Textiles from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art. After working as a stylist for Habitat and M&S in London and Aberdeen, I transitioned to freelance styling across Scotland, which allowed me to balance creative work with family life.

In 2011, I returned to my own art, re-learning screen printing and building a portfolio that combines print, paint, ink, and mixed media. I began exhibiting my work and eventually launched a line of textiles, lampshades, and luxury hand-poured candles.

In 2018, I converted a barn into a studio and exhibition space, but after a major flood, I found a beautiful little shop in my neighboring village, Maud. What started as a 3-day pop-up became my permanent creative home.

I opened my shop in March 2020—just before lockdown—but reopened in July and haven’t looked back. Today, it’s a thriving studio and retail space where I sell my own work, run workshops, and showcase carefully curated homewares and gifts from UK makers.
