Wearable Art
"All of my wearable art I create with the idea of being totally
immersed in a piece of art.  Totally immersed in elemental
beauty.  For me, this is love of self.  We should all be able to wear
something that was first dreamt of, then created by someone that
dared to risk failure, and lost themselves to their muse."

"I love the idea of keeping the sea as close to you as slipping a
silk blouse over your head."

"In creating this pattern I wanted to create the texture of
handwoven rush mats, the shapes of fired clay pots, along with
the women that make them.  Their hair is as regal as any tiara."

"This design combines my love
of Japanese art with Celtic
knots. I was also thinking of
Art Nouveau, in the way that
it combines geometric shapes
with organic elements.  I use
the rising air bubbles to
suggest hidden aquatic life in
the depths of the pond...  
Could be a frog or newt.  
Could be a huge old catfish
snoring!
