Originally from Adelaide, I grew up in the Riverland, went to Teachers college then University: BA Hons Philosophy(Adelaide), MA Visual Arts (Flinders University. A trip to Europe was spent travelling from one major gallery to the next. Then from the 1980s a textile-related practice WHIPSTITCH included exhibitions, workshops, and contributions to TEXTILE magazine (among others). Today work is restricted to a home-studio close by the beach at Grange, Adelaide, with frequent trips to Goolwa on the southcoast, and north into desert regions.I have another interest, as an amateur geologist,ans Member of the SA Field Geology Club.

Aegean Story 1

Dimensions: 89x52cm(H x W)
Statement: Unused preparatory silks from a1986 show are overdyed, then completed with applique and machine embroidery.

Cephalopods may yet rise to be most intelligent life-forms left on our ever-changing planet.
Photographer: M Kluvanek

Aegean Story 2

Retail Price: POA
Dimensions: 87.5x104cm(H x W)
Statement: Today concerns grow over climate change so much that we forget about what has already been lost. Antikythera revisited: beneath the rising seas of the Aegean, among ancient shards, we have but one example of advanced engineering left from that era.The Nautilus exemplifies the golden ratio, discovered by the Greeks
Photographer: M Kluvanek

Coorong Coast – Beach 2

Retail Price: POA
Dimensions: 103 x 58cm (H x W)
Statement: The surf rolls endlessly in sets of five, giving up but a few empty shells amid the sand-ripples. Cotton gauze, silk organza, pre-stitched fine linen and digitally designed motifs are layered over a charcoal cotton background.
Exhibitions: Machine-Stitched, Burra: by invitation
Photographer: M Kluvanek

Coorong Coast – Beach 3

Retail Price: POA
Dimensions: 105.5 x 54cm (H x W)
