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.

glycene weed

I found this weed a little boring but I only used the alum mordant with a copper rod.  Perhaps a different mordant would show this natural dye off.  It was a little too subtle but a lovely fawn all the same.

ducks in a row

So much happening at the Uni.  These ducks were hardpressed to find their normal swimming spot.  I thought the photo made a good eco statement!
 

Eco flicks had a workshop at the University last weekend with a brilliant tutor and sound whiz called Skev from Qld school film and TV.  It was full on two days but brilliant brush up and more.  A few great editing, sound and film tips.  Eco Flicks competition closes in March.  Plus another film competition with  Visioning Outdoors due in June.  Will have to get my thinking cap on.
