About Me


I come from the land downunder living
 in a small coastal town
on the far south east coast, 
New South Wales, Australia
and 
my home backs onto a tidal lake
 where fish and bird life 
abound and kangaroos sleep on the islands in the lake.


 I am a self taught fibre, fabric and mixed media
 artist having progressed over the last 30 or so years 
from crazy quilt making, spinning, dyeing and weaving.
My passion is creating with vintage and
 antique laces, recycled clothing
and fabrics, textures, raw silks, eco-dyed silks,
 paper, threads,ribbons, buttons, beads
 and all sorts of metal findings
to
create artworks in the form of cloth
 and paper books and journals, 
collages, fibre art cards, along with many forms of
vintage gifts created from the above materials. 

 

My love also of antiques, time worn treasures, 
tattered and torn, nature findings
goes hand in hand with my creativity.  
Creating for me is essential for maintaining
 inner peace and calm
and
a sense of well-being.
