I am inspired by the abstract patterns I see in our environment.
I choose to replicate these using simplistic spirited colour and texture. This may manifest in fibre, pastel, paint, collage or a fusion of these!
My creations are always visual and sometimes functional.
I trained in Graphic design in the late 1970s and later spent a period introducing art techniques to children. Travel spurred my personal creativity and this current journey began in 2006. It has been rejuvenating and rewarding as I delight in each completed piece.
My participation in exhibitions throughout 2007 to 2010 further stirred my creativity and added to my multiplicity.

The fabulous range of colour witnessed as new bark replaces the shed, and then there is a gentle bleed of fresh sap.
This is my largest piece to date and I find it pleasantly compelling; I hope you do too.
