My work is driven by my passion for Australian native plants, particularly the banksia and also the art of printmaking. Drawing is the basis for all my work and I love colour. My textile work features close machine stitching to enhance the images within it. I have won many awards over the last four decades, one highlight being the Inaugural Australian National Quilt Award in 2001. I have also tutored extensively both here in Australia and also in New Zealand.
