AREAS OF INTEREST:

Work includes painting in most media, printmaking, jewellery design and manufacture, textile and fabric design. Colour and the subtle effects and textures obtained by overlaying transparent papers and/or printing inks is an area of special interest.

Allied to this is the challenge of carrying the colour and texture from the major disciplines of painting and printmaking into the mediums of jewellery and textiles.
