Unexpected Gifts
As luck would have it, we were planning to make a gazebo in behind the house. In a discussion about where and how to make it, Gillian suggested a workshop might be the better plan. Awesome idea!!!

I create evocative landscapes that are inspired by nature.
I use up-cycled and new materials from vintage tapestries, reused cloth and natural fibres to guide my intuition on the material I am working with. As I create, I do not attempt to imitate some pre-determined reality. I have learned to take chances with my pieces and not be afraid to stretch, cut, dye or even re-invent my work.
It is the process (the journey, if you will) that I find the most exciting part of making art. Just like life...I suppose.
