As well as being an artist who paints, I have been a textile artist for many many years. I painted landscapes onto clothing and when I learnt to crochet in the late 80's I also taught myself Tapestry Crochet, before I knew it had a name. I 'painted' with colours in yarn on my beanies (woollen hats) and customers at my weekly market stall, began requesting custom orders. So I became a Beanieologist, by demand. I am now quite known around Australia, in Beaniefest circles, for my unique, pointy hats, as I travelled in a van and bus around the country for 12 years. I am inspired by the vibrant colours in the Rainbow Region where I now reside in, Northern Rivers, New South Wales, East Coast.
I was very fortunate to have an alternative schooling, giving me the chance to explore art, drama, and free movement, in an open environment, setting me up for traveling a different road/life to many.
I am self taught in textile art, I developed my Wearable Art whilst selling it at a local weekly market, in the valley of St Andrews, Victoria.
It was there every Saturday, that customers saw my multi coloured Gumnut Pixie Hat and wanted one like it.
I have been awarded many awards for my sculptural exhibition hats, notably at The Alice Springs Beanie Festival, in Central Australia. My hats range from the Super Warm, ( read this testimonial ) -{ "You made a thick, fuzzy purple hat, sent to SacredStoneCamp. It was the warmest hat I found there, keeping me warm in -65°F ! Thanks for yr donation, it helped me survive. I appreciate it so much. Much love Brooklyn"} - to the Magical, Spiritual, 'Temples for the Head'. They are inspired by the knowledge, that we can all Connect with what I call the 'InnerNet', particularly when the Internet is not working.
We just have to Remember to Focus Our Invisible Antennas, out of our Crowns, to the Great Universal InnerNet.
Wearing one of my 'Antennas to the Universe', helps us to focus, and Remember, that Everything Is Possible. If you dream it.
If you Imagine it. You can Manifest Anything. Wake Up and Re-Learn ... ALL THAT WE HAVE FORGOTTEN."
All my creations are individually designed, in a Freeform Process of Tapestry Crochet worked in Heartfelt, Magical, Numerological patterns.
These aren't just Hats for the Masses !
These are 'Outside the Normal', for those unafraid to be different.
For awakened conscious people who Dare to Stand Out in The Crowd
*Are you ready ...... to wear one ?*
