Born and raised in Melbourne, Australia I happily reside in the cool temperate forests of the Dandenong Ranges.   Having studied in the fields of Environmental Science and Pattern making at RMIT, I developed an interest in working with natural fibres to create original soft bird sculptures that now inhabit my forest home.  

   In my textile work you can see traditional embroidered stitches and appliqué methods that I combine together to form a complex symmetrical patterns of fine feather detail. My bird art designs are developed to capture the natural movement and behaviour of birds in general, and to achieve perfect balance. 

    Like most creative people, my imagination keeps me awake at night and the inspiration that I find in old books, vintage textiles and even in the graffiti on the city's walls helps me in my desire to design the ultimate bird.
