Insight, Rigour, Meaning…

Inevitably, the shift from one stage of life to another invites change. The underlying ethos remains. I bring insight, rigour and meaning to my work.

Discover Collection

Earlier, leading IRM Strategies, the field of play involved knowledge systems, the building and use of intellectual capital in organizations and communities. I bring that same fascination with complexity into my art, design, writing and presentations.

Exploration continues through multiple media. Botanical imprints are souvenirs of the seasons as they emerge in the many garden rooms of our housing and design partnership, Garden Oaks Fine Accommodation. New works in pan pastel, acrylic and alcohol ink reveal layers, opportunity for contemplation. And, I am having fun with up-cycled materials, substrates that open to the potential of One Planet Living, through art.

Bringing it all together is a journey I aim to share through art, writing and engagement.

Welcome to my world!
