I work in batik.  I take my inspiration from the traditions and design s of Indonesia and apply them to my own themes.  Currently I translate images of gargoyles and carved stone onto cloth, drawing with hot wax.  I am also inspired by my surroundings in the Cam Valley to observe the transitory moments of landscape, flora and fauna and capture images using this dynamic, free flowing, fluid technique. I also teach adults and children.
