July 2023: I am beginning a new series of felted works based on the scientific illustrations of Ernst Haeckel. Machine stitching is also being introduced into my work again after many years. I'm excited to be able to undertake this task, as I have been inspired by his work for many years. If you haven't seen his work yet, check out the book "Kunstformen der Natur" (available all over the web, as it is no longer under copyright).
A piece from the Frutex series is featured in the 3D virtual exhibition, "Illuminating the Beauty of Science". The exhibition was organized by Suboart Magazine. View the exhibition and see how other artists interpreted the theme here.
