One year later on the other side of the world!!!!

Nova Scotia, Canada, is as far away as I could possibly get from Canberra, Australia ... but here  I am ... and finally settling back into my knitting and basketry.

I have a show opening on May 21st at Peer Gallery in Lunenburg, NS (Such a beautiful spot - a UNESCO World Heritage Site!!!)

I am sharing the space with abstract painter, Lisa Wright, and we can't wait to set the show up ... it's going to be amazing!!!

So thrilled to learn that one of my latest pieces, Swept, has been shortlisted for the Wangaratta Contemporary Textile Award!!!! 

I had so much fun creating this piece with prongs from street cleaner brushes.

WHAT AN HONOUR!!!!!

I am a finalist in this year's Waterhouse Natural Science Art Prize with my piece Moulin (pothole)!!!!!!!

Check out the website to see the amazing work in this years exhibition.
