Based at Cockpit Studios, her work is defined by a linear style and pared down forms, inspired by her fascination with living in a large city.  Her collections explore the paradox of belonging versus alienation and how we adapt and interact with our surroundings.

Petra combines teaching with running her own practice, Petra currently teaches at Morley and Working Men’s College.  She also runs private classes at K2 Academy.
