As a TAFE lecturer of visual arts for the past 17 years my teaching areas have been painting, art theory and textiles and so all three of these disciplines are now encompassed within my current art practice. My studio work is a continuous cycle of influences as I alternate between the areas of painting, drawing, textiles and creating visual narratives using collage. My teaching work and contact with my students, my strong interest in Australian culture from a feminist perspective, the constant surrounds of our beautiful Margaret River environment and my passion for developing and perfecting new skills all contribute toward the daily making and thinking and doing that define me as an artist. This year in addition to my screen printed and indigo dyed textile works have been making a nuno felted hats and bags in a variety of shapes, sizes and colours – each and every one a completely unique creation.
