Resume
I’m a self-motivated, practicing artist with 40 years’ experience specialising in textile and printing techniques. I have a Bachelor of Visual Arts degree and a keen interest in art related travel.
While living in Benalla, I was involved with the art community through the Benalla Art Gallery, the North East Artisans Group, Shepparton Textile Artists and Goulburn and North East Arts Alliance.
​
“I am proud of my business because my products are hand-made, one of a kind, and demonstrate my commitment to the benefits of creativity and sustainability.”
​
I have now moved to Enniscrone County Sligo Ireland in 2023 where I continue to map my environment using nature as my inspiration.
