Many years of sewing and quilting led to my involvement in costuming for theatre, film and opera, and then becoming a multiple awards winner in the Montana World of Wearable Art.

I have further diversified into fabric art and fashion with particular emphasis on creations of a floral nature.

I combine my love of flowers, colour, sumptuous fabrics and the slightly outrageous to create works of art, garments and hats which I hope will be considered works of art with a difference.

The items depicted in this website are only a few examples of my work, the complete collection includes stand-alone flowers, hats and full costumes.

Combinations of these form the basis for the staged shows which have been performed annually in the ChristChurch Cathedral as part of the Festival of Flowers.

My work has been commissioned for a variety of events including special interest groups, demonstrations, lecture series and major international conferences.

Flowers, costumes, part or full stage shows are available for hire on application.
