For the last fifteen years, I’ve has been delving into both painting and textiles. A solo exhibition in 2011 saw my textiles grow with success in selling alongside my paintings. Combining the the art principles of painting and fabric with the City & Guilds Certificate 2 in 2014 has given me more confidence to create pieces that have perspective in a painterly fashion, with use of values and thread. In 2016, I toured to major quilt shows in Australia with BERNINA as their guru for the year where they showcased my quilts on their stand and I demonstrated and represented the Q20 machine. Other achievements include:
- 2016: Australian magazine Quilters Companion an article as well as a DVD demonstrating.
- 2018: featured artist in Machine Quilting Unlimited (January/February issue). First prize and Viewers’ Choice AQC Borders & Bridges Challenge Bordering Extinction. 1st, 2nd and a 3rd in state-run exhibits for other works touring and 2nd Prize in Pictorial at Houston International Quilt Festival.
- 2019: 8 prize-winning quilts in Australia and USA.
