After retiring from my career as a primary school teacher,  there has been time for me to explore creative pursuits. My interest in textile art started with sewing, knitting and crocheting, which I learnt as a child, later, weaving, then screen printing. However, it was when I took part in my first felt making workshop with Carol Divall in 2010, that I discovered the joy of working with fibres and textiles.

I joined a number of textile based groups & attended countless workshops which led me to explore a wide range of textile arts, including embroidery, dyeing & a variety of felt making techniques. More recently, I’ve been experimenting with dyes created with natural materials including leaves, seeds, skins of fruit and vegetables. Much of my work is a fusion of techniques and materials.

I have exhibited work in a number of galleries in NSW & ACT including here, in Gallery on Track, where I’ve been a member since 2012.
