I have been painting for a number of years, inspired by the bright colours of New Zealand where I grew up and the ever changing Canadian seasons. My career was in the clothing industry and I have always made clothes for myself, frequently using the same bright colours as my paintings.

My original, colourful, and frequently up-cycled jackets have always attracted attention. I am now sharing a collection of my designs in the Art Wear show. I am using pieces of found garments and fabrics to put together some truly original and fun jackets.
