I am an artist. I stitch hundreds of little pieces of hand-dyed fabric together to make bold textile paintings. With a riot of colour and form the artworks were created in order to enjoy and capture the wonder of small children discovering this awesome world.

Observing small children notice budding flowers, snail trails, ripening fruit, textured leaves, floating bubbles, dripping rain and pencil marks on paper for the first time is a wonderful reminder of just how special these ordinary things are. In an effort to retain some of that wide-eyed wonder myself and to share it with others, my current body of vibrant quilted textiles incorporate traditional patchwork and quilting techniques in a contemporary way to powerfully record the learning experiences of little children.

Since Your Days Began

Retail Price: A$1400
Dimensions: 80 x 80cm (H x W)
Statement: Since Your Days Began captures a fleeting moment through the slow, mindful process of stitching together lots of little pieces of fabric.

That belly!
That ‘poised-for-release’ pose!
The juxtaposition of leaves on text.
The colourful layering of paint!
I love it all!

Shouted for Joy

Dimensions: 80 x 80cm (H x W)
Statement: Nothing says ‘joy’ more than the victorious cry of a child who has accomplished something difficult!Shouted for Joy captures a fleeting moment through the slow, mindful process of stitching together lots of little pieces of fabric.
