I am an explosion of colour, pattern and joy!
Nature is always my muse, and most often it's flowers.
I play across visual art, textiles and crafts and believe
decoration has the power to redefine spaces and experiences, whether they be personal living spaces, workplaces, clothing or public spaces.
My passion for human-centred design and sustainability is interwoven with this transformative potential, culminating in creations that go beyond visual appeal. I aim to create experiences that promote safety, inclusivity and creativity, while also fostering genuine human connection.
Art and Craft
I am a multi-disciplined artist and crafter with over 30 years of hands-on immersion in various creative fields, I have navigated through a dynamic spectrum of creative disciplines from improvised theatre and holistic dance to silversmithing, ceramics, textiles and painting.
Public Art
I was runner-up in the public art competition to activate Springs Place Precinct in Melbourne CBD with the aim of bringing joy to those who see it. My entry 'Blooms in Spring' was s tribute to the vibrant and delicate beauty of the Victorian native flowers and insects that are in danger of extinction and an exuberant celebration of the incredible diversity and wonder of our natural world.
Surface Pattern Design
My creative intent for my Surface Pattern Design work is focused on creativity, joy and inclusivity. I am continually inspired by the wonder of nature and the joy of colour. As a neurodivergent creative, I understand the power of colour and pattern for stimulating dopamine production and also for creating calm and soothing spaces that nurture us. I aim to use my work as a catalyst for positive change, adding beauty, joy and inclusivity to the world. My repeat patterns are suitable for wallpaper, home furnishing or clothing. Please contact me for licencing.
