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.

the finale - Melbourne Cup creation with ALAW 2nd set of letters



I am not one for photos but without wearing the final art piece you don't get a view of how it feels, looks and sits. The soy silk fibres give a subtle finish to the final piece which gives that lustre of silk, with the texture and rawness of organic. I hope you all have a safe and holy Christmas and rest up with family and friends over the Christmas period and come back ready to create.

Simplicity plus


This month....just naked soy silk fibre on florist wire to adorn the hat. I hope by the end of alaw I will have picked up the elegance of the letters the true calligrapher does with ease. I have a long way to go....but I love the little treasures.
