For years I have been painting abstracts for the sheer joy of applying paint to canvas. This year, following a 4 day intensive course with Jacqueline Coates of the Blooms Painting method, I have set myself the task of completing her online 52 week course of painting flowers - a painstaking, careful and more disciplined method which I hope will inform my personal painting at the end of it. Meanwhile here are some of those efforts to date.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Textiles:</strong><br>Having trained in both textiles and painting at Curtin I also follow my first passion &ndash; textiles: painting, printing, dyeing, stitching. I like to work on the surface design and then make up the textile into functional pieces. My own home is full of my own and collected textiles.</p>
