ARTIST BIO

Based on the landscape, and a strong sense of colour and design I react to what feels right as I create my work.

Born on a sheep property I’ve grown up with wool and so it is not surprising that felting is the process I use to create my vessels. I use felt as its an ecological, sustainable textile. 

I am represented in galleries though out Australia, internationally and exhibit regularly in art prizes, group & solo exhibitions. I teach felt workshops regularly, including the AGNSW, Portugal and London.

2020 my work has been a finalist in the Australian Textile Art Awards.

2019 I was represented in The Netherlands, Buren. 2018 my sculptures were exhibited in Chateau de Gizeux, Loire Valley, France and a finalist in the Wangaratta Petite Miniature prize, Greenway sculpture prize and my machine embroidery pieces were selected for a travelling exhibition through out Europe and Australia.

2017 I was selected as a finalist in Scythia 8th International awards, Ukraine and 2016 

won the Annandale Sculpture prize and also a finalist in Stanthorpe, Hunters Hill & and Hornsby sculpture prizes. My sculptures were selected in the Harbour Sculpture prize 2015/2017 and the same years I won “Textures of One” prizes. In 2016 my sculpture received highly commended in the Buda Contemporary Textile Prize, Castlemaine, Vic.

My 2-D art piece and felt sculptures were selected for the Biennial “World of Threads Festival” in Canada 2012/2014. In 2014 I won the Hornsby Sculptural Art Prize and 2015 received the judges highly commendedand I was a finalist in the Broken Hill Outback Art awards

“The Link” sculpture has been published in the Worldwide Colours of Felt” book, Netherlands and my work is included in the Dimensional Cloth, Sculpture by Contemporary Textile Artists book by Andra Stanton USA, 2018.
