About Me

I have been a Visual Artist for all of my adult life and now also enjoy filmmaking. I am passionate about creating visually to draw attention to environmental and social concerns- through artwork, food, film....or any other medium that leads me down the path of sustainability and social awareness. I am involved with Be Spirited by Nature Group who are trying to connect people with Nature. Also I am now consumed by the healing potential of colour, essence and dyeing which have been my latest passion...Celestial Wearable Art "Of the Essence" Healing Coats. I have been studying Celestial Plant Medicine for a number of years with David Crowe and Arjun Das. Correlating and putting together my two passions has been very rewarding and fulfilling with great healing results especially for PTSD. Work is not work when you love what you do, and the handing over a creation which takes about 1 month from start to finish, is such a joy.

DELICATE PURPLE PINK FROM THE MORNING GLORY FLOWERS


The morning glory flowers were done in iceblock form and wrapped in the fabric. The photos unfortunately don't do the pink justice. It is quite delicate. This week I tried the Davidson Plum and it is a similiar pretty pink.....

fungi found in the Michael Nunen rainforest



Only photos of delightful fungi but not enough to experiment with in the cauldron.
The morning glory flowers dyed a beautiful pink which I will keep you in suspense with till next time. The velcro vine came out a soft green grey but I think I will need to play with mordants to see what else I can get. Granddaughters arriving next week so the pot will have to be shelved for a while.

cauldron out again

Having more plays, singing over the pot, tossing the weeds in. Trying purple morning glory and another on which I have only just found out is a weed. Lots of people have it growning for hedges. We will soon find out if it is worthy to play with or not. Morning glory has a beautiful pink happening. Photos next time.
