I love working with my hands, I was a successful quilter for many years, sending my quilts all round the world, I particularly enjoy fine details, adding embellishments and embroidery and I incorporate these techniques into the jewelry I make.
I have been a lamp work bead artist for several years, enjoying the challenge of new techniques, I donate my beads to 'beads of courage' for children fighting cancer in New Zealand.
I love the challenge of entering a piece in WOW (World of Wearable Art) each year, incorporating all the techniques I enjoy into each piece.
I live on a small life style block near Palmerston North and have a wee studio that looks out onto a paddock of sheep, often looking up from my work to find an audience of woolly faces watching me through my studio window.
