My work was recently featured in the beautiful exhibition The Last Straw, curated by Viviers, Li Edelkoort, and Philip Fimmano as part of Investec Cape Town Art Fair 2026. It was such a special honour, and honestly, a really encouraging step forward in this creative journey I’m on.
If my pieces speak to you… if you feel drawn to live with one, share it with someone you love, or simply want to explore what we might create together in the future then please do reach out, I’d love to hear from you.
In Between
Handwoven merino wool, framed in Kiaat wood with art glass.
In Between was woven in the quiet space after finishing the For the Love of Wool series, while I was still deciding what to work on next. I can’t sit still or leave the loom empty for long, so I kept my hands busy with this piece.
In that undecided in-between time, it found its own meditative rhythm, soft cream merino wool crossed by steady, grounding bands of rich burgundy. The generous side fringes bring movement and tactility, like threads still finding their way forward.
Simple yet deeply considered, this piece honours the beauty of transition and the quiet value of simply staying with the work when the next direction isn’t clear yet. A small, intimate reminder that the most meaningful making often happens in the spaces between.
Dimensions: 48.5 × 45 cm
Robots on Road Trips
This piece is rooted in memories of the road trips Dad used to take us on when we were young. We always travelled more or less the same route, heading towards Oudtshoorn, and along the way these pylons would appear again and again. Steady, familiar markers of the journey.
As a child, I was fascinated by them. I imagined them as robots, standing tall across the landscape, quietly watching over the road. That feeling stayed with me, becoming part of how I remember those trips.
In this piece, the pylon stands against a soft, shifting landscape, holding something of the long drives, the passing scenery, and the quiet comfort of being on the road together.
I miss him, and I miss those journeys. But the memories remain steady and lasting, like the pylons themselves.
Dimensions: 660×760mm
Materials: Cotton warp. Handspun mohair and merino and some mohair/merino fleece for the weft. Framed in Obeche wood.
My Father’s Daughter
This one lies close to my heart. Dedicated to my Dad who has vascular dementia and sadly had to go to a care home. A year after he was admitted he felt stronger and we were able to take him on an outing. We took him to the beach and the day was magic. I picked up pebbles and shells, unsure of the how, but knowing that somehow I want to weave this memory with him to last forever.
Dimensions: 39 × 72 cm
Materials and techniques: Cotton warp. Weft: My very first skein of handspun merino. Various handspun mohair, alpaca and silk. Framed in Kiaat wood.
My Favourite Season
This piece is a celebration of autumn — my favourite season. I am drawn to everything about it: the crisp air, the rich earthy colours, the leaves falling from the trees, and the endless stretches of leaves gathered along the roadside like little seas of colour.
But more than anything, this piece holds memories of experiencing autumn through my son’s eyes. The raking, the piling, the running and jumping through the leaves, the laughter, and the joy of being completely buried beneath them. Ordinary moments that somehow feel magical every single year.
Dimensions: 610×670mm
Materials: Wool warp. Handspun mohair and merino and some mohair fleece for the weft
Kolkasrags, Where the Waters Meet
This piece is inspired by Kolkasrags Beach in Latvia, where the Baltic Sea meets the Gulf of Riga. It holds a special memory for me — the first time we took our son to Latvia, we visited this coastline with his granny and spent the most beautiful early evening together. It was one of those simple, joyful moments that stays with you.
When I made this piece, I found myself returning to that feeling. I worked from photographs, letting the colours and textures of the water, the shoreline, and the forest guide the weave.
The small silver piece at the centre is my interpretation of the pylon or lighthouse hidden in the forest at Kolkas. It was created through Laimes liešana, a Latvian New Year’s tradition where melted metal is poured into water and the shapes are read for meaning. This particular piece was made by my son and me, which makes it especially personal. (SOLD)
Dimensions: W71 (weaving width 51cm) H75(top hanging string to bottom)
Materials: Cotton warp. Handspun mohair, merino and various mohair/merino fleece for the weft
Soft as Silk, Strong as Steel
Woven entirely in silk, this piece is both material study and quiet tribute. The fibres were purchased when I began weaving in 2022, from an inspiring member of the Johannesburg Weaving Guild. Dedicated to her, the work reflects a balance of gentleness and resilience — qualities embodied in both silk itself and in a person whose kindness is matched by enduring strength.
Dimensions: W35 (weaving width 27cm) H88 (top hanging string to bottom)
Materials and techniques: Silk for warp and weft
Precious Gifts
This work emerged from generosity passed hand to hand: a bag of small, precious remnants of natural fibres, gifted by someone who had received them in the same spirit, and a fragment of velvet ribbon from a dear friend. As these materials came together on the loom, a deep sense of gratitude guided the process, allowing each thread to honour its own history while becoming part of a new whole. (SOLD)
Dimensions: W46 (weaving width 36cm) H76(top hanging string to bottom)
Materials and techniques: Plied wool warp and various hand spun Merino and silk “floss” for the weft
Spring is in the Air
Woven in Spring for our Spinning and Weaving Guild’s end-of-year competition, this piece responds to a set of simple but generative constraints: the use of Spring colours, multiple fibres, rich texture, and a scale suitable for the home. The work was recognised by the guild jury for its material sensitivity and surface. Handspun merino and mohair bring softness and movement, while cotton grounds the work, evoking renewal and growth. (SOLD)
Dimensions: W 80 (weaving width 64cm) H190 (top hanging string to bottom)
Materials and techniques: Cotton warp. Weft: commercial cotton mix, handspun merino and mohair. Mohair fibres
It’s the Small Things…
This work marks my first weave on a small frame loom and carries the quiet rhythms of making at home. Cotton warp supports handspun merino and mohair, with additional merino, mohair, and karakul fibres shaping the surface, finished with cotton fringes. As I worked, my six-year-old son brought small objects to include; one tiny leaf, offered with great seriousness, remains in the weave, honouring attentiveness and shared moments.
Dimensions: W 65 (weaving width 50cm) H127 (top hanging string to bottom)
Materials and techniques: Handspun merino & mohair. Mohair, merino and karakul fibres. Cotton fringes
Wacky Woolies
We did the advanced spinning workshop at our Pretoria and Jhb Guilds’ Fibre Breakaway. We learned how to spin art yarn from an incredibly creative lady. It was super fun! Some of the ladies donated their art yarn to me to weave with and I wanted to join us all together in this piece.
Dimensions: W 48 H 82
Materials and techniques: Plied wool and commercial yarn for the warp. Weft: Handspun merino and mohair. Framed in Obeche wood.
Tuesday Blues
This piece was woven on a Tuesday, and its colours came about almost by accident. Blue has never really been my favourite colour, yet on that particular day I found myself reaching for every shade of blue in my fibre stash.
Unlike many of my other works, this one did not begin with a clear story. It simply unfolded as I worked, guided by the fibres and the rhythm of weaving. Layer by layer, the blues found their place, creating a piece that feels calm, reflective, and quietly unexpected.
Perhaps this work is a reminder that sometimes the story only reveals itself in the making. And perhaps, after all, I do quite like blue.
Dimensions: W 52 (weaving width 40cm) H122 (top hanging string to bottom)
Materials and techniques: Warp in commercial yarn. Weft: Various merino, mohair, and silk.
