Paddy is a Canadian textile artist, born in the Niagara Peninsula. Following studies in fashion design, fabric design, embroidery and millinery at various institutions such as The Academy, Sheridan, Fanshawe and George Brown Colleges and attaining a BA from Western University, she pursued a career as a costume designer and maker. In this field she practiced and developed a wide variety of artistic textile techniques.

A number of years ago, Paddy began producing her own line of millinery and accessories. Using her own patterns and designs, she dyes and paints the fabrics, cuts and manipulates them into shape and combines them with techniques such as embroidery and beading into unique wearable art pieces. All of Paddy's items are individually hand made by her and her team in their sunny studio in London, Ontario.
