I am a Textile and Mixed Media Artist creating art in a light-filled studio on the out-skirts of Ngaruawahia in the Waikato, New Zealand
I am married to John and have a daughter, Rachel.
I have always loved art and craft but have only just recently started creating my own pieces of art.
Starting with quilting I found it hard to follow a pattern without wanting to add my own variations.
“I start with fabric and then add anything else that will finish a
piece; paint, dye, fibre, glue, beads, buttons and wire.
No rules, if it works for me I use it.
The current trend of recycling allowed me to follow my love of
creating with pre-loved items such as material, clothing and
jewellery.
These are hidden treasures and I enjoy using various
techniques to give them new life as art.”
Commissions can be taken, as this art is a great re”tie”rment gift, using ties from the man’s working career.
