I have been quilting since early 2000’s, starting as a traditional quilter, it just wasn’t for me. So I embarked on a wonderful journey of discovery and did my first landscape wall art quilt in 2011 which was accepted into AQC as a finalist! I was thrilled and knew this was what I wanted to do.
Since then I have made many more art quilts and my journey continues, I never stop learning. After joining Ozquilt Network in 2015 my style changed again with the wonderful influences of this group. Since 2015, I have exhibited my textile art pieces across Australia, including the beautiful Uluru, and overseas in USA, New Zealand and Switzerland.
At present I am on a journey of Old things, attracted to Rust, rotting, disintegrating objects. My Renovator’s Delight art is one of these pieces with many techniques used to create that old run down look.
Renovator’s Delight

The Last Resort
Retail Price: AUD$5500
Dimensions: 85x65cm (H x W)

The Old verandas floor and wall boards disintegrating and rooting away, the roof was a glorious corrugated burgundy rust.
