Healing Organs
In this series I worked on wood cutouts with layers of embroidery, transfers and drawing on wooden cutouts of human organs. Each organ was created in relationship to deep emotional work during a year of introspection, healing and liberation.
Remember Breathing
This series of work was a pretext to remember to breathe slowly and in the present, while working on drawing and embroidery mounted onto porcelain dishes. This group was shown at Carriage Studios, Almonte in 2017. The exhibition also had bronze pieces done during my MFA in Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK in 1995.

Healing Alphabet
This artwork has 27 pieces, one for each letter of the alphabet: Each letter in tandem elements of my healing process. The objects were made on repurposed wooden pieces carved on a leith, and layered with encaustics, embroidery and drawing. This series was exhibited in 2017 at The General Fine Craft Gallery, located in Almonte, Ontario.
