In 2004 I began making fashionable wearable art for both the local and international market for clients to love and enjoy. Colour has a strong role of intensity and suppleness in my work and really helps put these garments at the cutting edge of style and beauty.

I create and make my work with a passion for high quality textiles and mineral resources. The strong and rugged rocky beautiful landscape in which I live is reflected in a variety of abstract manner in my work. My designs are functional and fashionable art, unique pieces to wear or display, from Alice Springs to Paris, New York, London.

My textiles are Australian and New Zealand Merino and Corriedale Wool, hand painted silk from our Titjikala Aboriginal Community, Mohair from Queensland and metallic fringing from France. The newest collections incorporate 23kt Gold from the Kimberley Ranges, in Western Australia.

Many hours of time and love is placed and grown for you like a seed in the garden into each and every creation that comes off the work tables of “Desert Dreams”. In an effort for the designs to not only have the reflection of my heart and mind but the Crystal Energy of the Dreaming time from our region for clients to love and enjoy each piece is created one at a time with total focus on its development and evolvement to the final stages of wearable art for you to enjoy to love for years to come.

I make my work in every colour of the rainbow and in my textile work create and hand make scarfs, hats and wall hangings to decorate for personal as well as the home or office for you to love and enjoy. Enquiry for custom made items are welcomed here.

Desert Dreams have been born to bring love, colour, fun and a sense of style back into the world for you and your friends and family to feel the true textures of Australia again and love the beauty and touch of hand made craft.

A quality product to experience and utilise for years to come.
