A bit about me…

I am a Brisbane-based artist with a love of textiles and mixed media working on Turrbal Country. My interests range from a passion for antique textiles through to using modern quilting techniques such as improvisational patchwork, I also love to create with fibres such as paper and threads. I am drawn to all things tea-related so I’ll frequently use tea bags in my arts practice.

My work has been exhibited both nationally and internationally and my art pieces have been juried into galleries both in Queensland and interstate. A number of my quilts have received awards including “Most promising” for her improv quilt at the Queensland Quilt show in 2019.

Textile magazines have featured a number of my works including her collaborative postcard project, my Bogaji pieces and my travel journals. Travel continues to inspire my work with the colours, shapes and textures around me forming part of my creative practice.

Over the years I have developed my craft alongside full time work and family life. Having recently retired from work in the field of education, 2023 should prove to be productive. My studio awaits!
