I am a fibre artist currently working in the medium of felt .
I am draw to the sustainability of wool as it lends itself to combining with both recycled and raw materials. I also like the fact that it is a New Zealand grown commodity. I use New Zealand Merino wool mostlly but also work with Alpaca and cross breed wools.
I enjoy the creative process of the raw sliver emerging into a piece of fabric and the unpredictability of how it will look. Much of the design is dependant on what the wool has been combined with.
Each piece becomes a unique piece of fabric
I am an active member of the "Napier Weavers" who provide me with both the support and inspiration in my creative endeaours,
