​Welcome to my website. I live and work in Far North Queensland Australia. My studio is situated deep in the rainforest in the foothills of Mt Bellenden Ker overlooking the canopy to the spectacular  Wooroonooran National Park. 

​All things textile have held a fascination for me since early childhood. This passion combined with a deep love of the natural world inspires and informs my practice of sculptural basketry and contemporary embroidery. Specifically, I am drawn to the ocean and it's beachscapes, as well as the drama and colour of the desert country of Central and Northern Australia. 

​During recent times as the world, and we, have grappled with bush fires, drought, floods, and a pandemic, my own creative practice has undergone a quantum shift. I pursued a different direction by enrolling and studying ceramics at our local TAFE. Since then, I have set up my own ceramics studio and have been exploring and learning the deeply satisfying, frustrating at times, and often thrilling art of pottery . I have exhibited in local galleries and used craft markets as a platform to experiment and hone my skills on the wheel.
