I grow, harvest and make my own pigments and dyes. Indigo, for example, is fermented in vats using a centuries old formula. I use 22ct and 24ct gold leaf in the cracks that emerge during the alchemy of shibori-the folding and unfolding and dipping that rip and tear which I find beautiful. Wabisabi- the perfect is perfect. This engages me in a dialogue with being. Thematically my work seeks to connect our fragile Earth, our delicate material and ephemeral creations, our spirit our vast sky and our hope in which we are all one. Alpha Pavonis is the star that was known as Peacock Star, a bright blue star that radiates from the constellations of Aries. I hope the work makes you feel the bright light that is always within our soul.

Exhibiting international and national award winning artist who practice also includes commission for commercial as well as private collectors. Creative artist making meaningful inspiriting poetic art to cherish.Indigo because it colours everything, all emotion, our fragile planet, our universe. Madder is the colour of open flesh, wounds and healing, love and heartbreak" Indigo, 6000 years of historical importance that continues to inspires me. I make my own non-toxic fermentation indigo vats using century old recipe, plant dyes and pigments from the Earth on washi, wool, silk, this contrasted with industrial materials- cast iron, steel, concrete, engages me in a dialogue that creates a deeper connectedness to being.The tension of light, ephemeral and heavy dark industry produces a emotional experience. I find the dust and grime ingrained surfaces, when the edges worn with layers of time, muted colours greyed into man made materials. The experience of being in a rivers current and looking up through the heavy deep grey black blue sky to a ray light reflecting back.
