Each of us who cares about the world we live in is the dreamer.
We are connected in our common purpose, the “Good Dream”, of an earth, healthy, alive and respect and care for all creatures that live here.

She Flies by Night

size: ”13” - circle fibre, mixed media       •click on the image for a close up

“She Flies by Night” (Psyche) is a winged moth like creature who sees in the dark and is a symbol of my intuitive approach to creation making. She moves through dreams, gathering seeds of possibilities for new ideas.       private collection

Trilogy

   •   •   

Uprooted • Spinning Wheel • From the Heart

size: ” 7 X 13 ”(each) - fibre, mixed media       •click on each image for a close up

This triptych is about transformation. So often our self is planted in another's reality. A search for our truth will lead us to uproot. This causes confusion, a sense of out of control, like a spinning wheel. Eventually this quest brings us to know ourselves better and to live authentically.    private collection

Coyote

Inspired by Coyote, the Trickster of Native lore I used images of real coyotes to work from. He’s a storyteller who especially enjoys the tall tales. His amber eyes and scruffy nature are very endearing somehow and I'm still wondering some days where he came from.

Teacher

size: 8” X 9”       •click on the image for a close up

Many gifts lie dormant in each of us until circumstances bring them out. My gift of teaching was such a gift. The image of the spiral inside and outside in the doll helped to articulate my desire to teach from the heart.

Spirit Dancer (Memory Dance)

size: 5” X 9”       •click on the image for a close up

Created as a way to pray for a friend who had died too soon, I focused on all the wonderful attributes that my friend has and what I learnt from her. It was surprisingly peaceful to work on. The doll made herself.

Grandmother’s Song

size: 9” X 16” fibre, mixed media       •click on the image for a close up

Created to honour all the women who have influenced my life and have crossed over. Some of them I have known, others have influenced me through their writings or art left behind. They have now become the “Voice of the Grandmothers” which in times of difficulty soothe and guide.

Fish Wife

size: 8” X 16” - fibre, mixed media    
•click on each image for a close up

The term “fishwife” is a derogatory one used to silence someone. I began to work with it in a positive way as one who knows what they need and are not afraid to voice it. The themes imbedded in the piece speak of identity and the sea, with a fish mouth in the mask, relics from the shoreline and a mermaid all woven together to create a tale of integrity and individuality.
