Trained abstract artist exploring the depth and potential of soft materials to express movement and emotion, as wearable art. Methods employed focus on silk painting, Shibori, distressing and discharge, overdying, collage and material overlay, used sometimes
in a conventional way and at other times stretching the boundaries of technique. The work portrays an abiding interest in fundamental concepts expressed through form, using the wearable art metaphor as the context to house and shape artistic gesture. The relationship
of the decorative to the raw power of material form is another recurring theme in my work, defining for myself what is essential and superfluous in beauty. Abiding interest in the transformational power of clothing.
