My tremendous curiosity about the world around me has lead me to explore and develop ways of expressing my ideas in fibre. I am energized by vibrant colours and textures which are evident in my many wall hangings, wearable art clothes and accessories. Each piece is unique and original, mostly influenced by nature and my travels. These fibre art works may be made from constructed fabric, hand dyed and painted fabric, handmade paper, silk paper, leather or metal.

The design principles from previous studies in fine art and graphic design have influenced my compositions. The artisitic process propels me into action leaving little time for analysis or reflection in the moment. The  blank canvas doesn’t intimidate me as it allows me permission to experiment. There is always an opportunity to take the design into another direction if it doesn’t turn out as planned thus allowing the creative precess to flourish. Maintaining a philosophy of ” my cup is always half full” has allowed me to experience wonderful opportunities.
