    Title: ”Repository” (2009)   Size: 90cm x 142cm.   Price: $750
“Repository” plays with the image of a quilt-maker's "stash". Open my fabrics-cupboard and you will see every shelf crammed with vintage Oriental silks, brocades, velvets, batiks, shibori and hand-dyed fabrics, sweeping through the rainbow. All manner of textile loveliness! An invitation to create!

 "Repository" (Detail)
This piece has a hand-dyed background and an elaborate, highly-textured surface achieved by sewing many ribbon-tied rolls of fabric onto the quilt to mimic piles of fabric inviting you to play, and create.

  Title: “Peace Robe” (2008)    Size: 86x86cm   SOLD
The words "no one can be left out' printed down the back of a tiny, embroidered kimono, are a reminder that we are One People on this Earth. For the sake of the Earth and all people, we must hold onto this global way of thinking.

   Title:”Joyeux” (2007)    Size: 100x150cm    SOLD
Dazzling yellows, gold and silver brocades are placed alongside dark colours, to emphasise their shine. For me, brightness, shine, indeed light itself, is a symbol of indwelling Spirit.
​Hand-dyed fabrics, Japanese Obi brocades,  machine-quilted and hand-embroidered with gold thread and antique beads.

 Title: “On  the  Beach” (2006)    Size: 70x58cm    SOLD
"On the Beach” was the 2006 Winner of the Australian Quilters’ Association exhibition, Australian Quilts in Public Places (AQIPP) Award.
It celebrates a quintessential Australian experience, being on the beach as a child, splashing, digging, finding shells and seaweed. It uses pockets and hidey-holes for treasures and images, to echo the private imaginative world of the child.
​Mixed Media work with computer-printed images collaged. Some images are deliberately obscured in 'pockets' of fabric, to recreate a child's 'lift-the-flap' story-book.

 Title: “DEVI” (1992)    Size: 40cm x 90cm.  SOLD
The DEVI image comes from a bronze statue of the Indian deity, DEVI, known as the Original Goddess, or Mother Goddess, the source of all gods and mortals. The rainbow colouring is like a reflection of water drops from the sacred Ganges River, which flows from her downward-pointing hand. Screenprinted cotton velvet, embellishment
