I think my journey started as a youngster growing up on a New Zealand farm; being lifted into the wool press to keep me out of trouble when I followed to the wool-shed at shearing time. I come from a family of artists, and leaving school, went on  to study craft design. However it wasn't until 30 years later I took up felt making. Inspired through faith, I have dedicated myself to explore and express myself through the medium of wool.

I am passionate about my country and believe I live in one of the most inspiring corners of the world.... LOMAH....the Land Of Milk And Honey.... Not only is New Zealand beautiful, it produces high quality wool, which I source locally, direct from small farms and family run businesses. By preparing fleeces myself, and hand dying for individual pieces, I craft truly one off works of art.
