Fibre Arts
Through my hands I endeavour to create more light in the world; as a healer, photographer and fibre-artist.
My first introduction to working with wool and yarn was as a teenager when for my first project to occupy my time as I healed after an illness, I launched into knitting a lace jumper using mohair. I dived in boldly – as I do with most things in my life!
I then bred coloured angoras and learned to spin yarn in my early 20’s; and after a recent severe injury and subsequent illness, knitting was my saviour.
I am curious and creative. I adventure the world, and my experiences are the foundation for my developing philosophies; perspectives on life; and my expression through both my visual and fibre art.

Luxury Handwoven Artisan Blanket
This unique luxury handmade heirloom blanket was inspired by my journeys in Africa.
As an artist, each and every work I create is an expression of my lived experience.
My yarns and colours for each of my weavings are consciously chosen. I choose colours which I feel from my memories. As I weave, I let my instincts guide me in choosing from the colours I’ve gathered.
Colour is important. Every colour has a purpose. For me, it is the key to the soul of a piece.
Tired of mass produced, soul-less items? My blankets are the perfect gift for yourself or special person in your life. Unique, soul-filled and will be treasured for generations.

Luxury Handwoven Artisan Blanket #4
African skies; memories woven into my handmade blankets.
This beautiful blanket is one of a series; inspired by our journeys in #Tanzania last year.
This adventure with our family was particularly important for me, because I wasn’t sure how I was going to manage with my balance issues since my brain malfunctioned in 2023. Our boys reassured me they would help if I needed help walking; or assistance getting up if I face-planted; so with my family’s support and encouragement, I decided to just go for it and I was journeying again!!!! @idoamazingthings
Weaving these blankets is an expression of how grateful I am for my family and how amazing they were helping me; and how with their support, and through taking a leap of faith and being resilient, I DID actually manage and have the most wonderful experiences. The landscape was breathtaking. Seeing the animals in their habitats was humbling.
This trip to Africa was significant for me. Love to know in the comments below, what journeys you’ve had that when you look upon them in hindsight, were also significant to you.

No plastics used in my blankets. Pure wool.
