Textile art and the way I look at color.

A textile artist is always looking for inspiration. I’m attracted to the way one color blends with another, somehow the colors set off endorphins in my brain that says, ‘Like me’

Capture the color.

3 weeks ago I came to Mexico to share my ideas and quilting techniques to both Artists and Quilters alike. I have a history in Mexico going back 8 years now. I’m very lucky to have made so many wonderful friends here. I love everything, the art, the people, the designs, the food and of course the color.

The embroidered blouse, a little gem of art.

The fascinating thing about Mexican blouses is the designs that are put onto each blouse. Each small symbol has a meaning in the culture of the artisan and it differs by region.

Tacos, translators and Texture.

We have another man in class who is incredibly funny and the day rolled past with bursts of hilarity and small episodes of quiet concentration. I wonder if other Tutors have taken a class with a translator at their side and two cameramen following their every move.

My photos are an expression of what I saw as I walked for a few hours. I hope they give you a small glimpse of interesting things.

Ornate sculptures, masterful paintings and extravagant gold leaf cover every inch of the walls and ceiling of the Rosary Chapel, creating a dazzling effect

Capture and create a video of beautiful Australian images to tempt the Quilter.

I photograph and film wherever I travel, this is a small film I made in Sydney. Of course there is the wonderful texture of the Opera House and beautiful paintings from the Gallery.
