About Bright Hopes

Bright Hopes is a sustainable art and design brand committed to ethical practices and eco-friendly innovation. We specialise in small-batch production, ensuring minimal waste while creating high-quality, timeless pieces of art, clothing, gifts and homewares. Our focus is on circular design, not fast fashion—because we believe in protecting the planet and shaping a more sustainable future for design.

About Me

I am a professional textile artist and designer based in Newark, Nottinghamshire. I hold a BA in Textiles from London Metropolitan University (2016) and an MA in Textiles from Chelsea College of Arts, UAL (2019). My practice, now based in Lincolnshire, blends digital and handmade processes, using repetitive motifs to explore themes in textiles.

Committed to sustainable design, I carefully select materials to align with circular design principles. My work crosses fine art and textiles, challenging perceptions of materiality and texture. With training in therapeutic arts, I am passionate about well-being in the arts and exploring its healing potential.

I am currently developing my brand, using screen-printing and digital processes to create unique textile products for e-commerce and retail. I have exhibited previously and welcome collaborative projects.
For commissions, collaborations, or inquiries, please get in touch via my website.
