I am a textile designer and artist, living in Western Australia. My textile background is very evident in my work.
My work reflects whatever I am exploring at the time in my life. I like unexpected results as one finds in life, so I tend not to plan too much, but rather build my work up through layers of different media, technique and pattern.
Nature creeps into my work, as the beauty, pattern, colours and intricacies around us astound and inspire me.
