My latest fibre artwork is finished! This time I've started a series of smaller works titled ‘Sheep on a Thousand Hills’.
I finally realised why I love capturing our New Zealand countryside (and animals and birds) so much. First off, I love my homeland. Secondly, I live in New Zealand’s largest city – Auckland – but every time I can get out of Auckland, and see the rural countryside, my soul breathes a little easier. The grass, the trees, the sheep – that’s my happy place and I could gaze on that view forever. To be able to capture an essence of that peace within one of my fibre works brings me joy. I hope you will like it too!

300mm x 210mm
New Zealand wool fibre, cotton, silk and bamboo
This artwork uses locally sourced New Zealand wool fibre, plus imported bamboo, cotton and silk fibres to support sustainable, eco-friendly art practices. Wool's biodegradable and renewable properties embody sustainability and reflects my commitment to responsible, non-toxic artistry.
