The beauty, colour and texture of nature inspire me to portray the wonder of world I live in. This arbutus tree with its magnificent change of colour through the seasons, the sinuous, twisting curve of its branches and its resilient, tenacity, clinging to a rocky outcrop, spoke to me. It is a metaphor to me of how to live. So I express it with an old craft form transformed in a modern art context.

Techniques: Hooked and punched with hand dyed wool cloth strips, wool yarns, mohair and cotton chenille on a linen backing.
