I am a mixed media and textile artist because what I do makes me happy and ‘reminds me that I have a soul.’ It took me a long time to take up an art practice as I worked in a diverse range of jobs before settling to teaching and high school administration as a career. My art works are “handmade treasures”, inspired by special people, political and cultural issues and a sense of place and heritage. I like working with a mix of materials, especially those which are naturally found and recycled.

My art celebrates diversity, with a harmonious mixture of techniques, materials and ideas and will encourage others to create.
