Exhibitions ...

"BERBAGI"

In 2010 I visited Bali in 2010 with nine other members of the Paperpermakers of Qld, and we are now creating work for an exhibition in February 2012 entitled "BERBAGI" (which means "Sharing"). This will be very exciting because it will also feature works by Indonesian paper artists.
There are more details on my Exhibitions page.

"UNDERCURRENTS" and "PAPERS, PAGES AND PRINTS"

These two recent exhibitions in September 2011 were well received by the many visitors.
Please see my Previous Exhibitions page for more details.

Tutor at the Textile & Art Academy, June 2011

I really enjoyed teaching the 2-day workshop at the inaugural Textile and Art Academy entitled "Designing with Letters" . The feedback from the participants was extremely positive.
