I am a treasure hunter pursuing wonder. I work across the mediums of fibre, paint, dye and ceramics. My art is process driven as I follow my curiosity as a child at play, embracing random effects and paths in my explorations. Nature is my inspiration, in colour pallets, texture, and flowing forms. I usually paint on wet cloth allowing for watercolour effects in the drying process. I can then cut, stitch or add other fibre embellishments to the work, drawing on my background in fibre arts.
