My soul is nourished by the serenity of nature and touched by the quiet solitude. I am intrigued by the distinctive environment of mangroves. Living and working with First Nations people on an Aboriginal community provided spiritual and thought – provoking cross cultural learnings and the impetus for my artistic inspiration. My work depicts the aerial roots within the complex tangle of the mangrove environment. With vibrant palette, using recycled textural yarns, the sculpture integrates crochet techniques with contemporary assemblage methods. I have been a finalist in Art Prizes and exhibited in a solo and group exhibitions locally, interstate and overseas
