garments

Each of my handcrafted garments reflects a unique simplicity and functionality. Colour and texture combine to create pieces that make the wearer feel natural and comfortable. A rich array of contemporary and classic colours and subtle textures gives each piece individuality. I weave mostly in natural fibres; wool, silk, alpaca, cotton, linen. I hand dye the yarns to reflect the colours of the Australian landscape. From raw fibre, to loom, to garment, the making of each piece is a process that is an art.
