Following is a selection of silk quilts

Quilt textiles are an artists impression of dream quilts; the centrepieces are original silk paintings, bordered by the artist’s own shibori dyed silk, and textured with hand and machine stitching, The backing is pure cotton, and the filling non-allergenic polyester wadding. The central works are Mandalas expressing the precious environment and the life giving Sun and radiant moon and stars, that enliven heavens where fish swim and birds fly in the airy element.

Following is a selection of Illuminations

Illuminations are inspired by the concept of the Medieval Illuminated texts, with the canvas developed as a page. The Illuminations combine poetry and paint, and are ornamented with polymer glazes, beads, and gemstones.
