Fabric Printing, Stamping and Dyeing

I am a textile artist and art teacher, with an almost thirty-year career dedicated to the resist dyeing methods of Batik and Shibori and the universe of fibres. I have practised Batik on fabric and on paper for 17 consecutive years and Shibori for the other years. In the past few years, I have also been fascinated by the world of stamping and printing, which I love to combine with dyed surfaces. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Arts and Education, a Master’s Degree in Fine Arts/Textiles and a Certificate in Expressive Arts Therapy. I combine all my studies and work experiences in my teachings, transferring my knowledge while fostering students’ creativity, imagination and their search for their artistic languages. I have worked with people of all ages and backgrounds as a mixed-media art teacher and as a textile art teacher, offering short and long programs in a variety of settings and class formats. I love leading community projects and facilitating collective artwork, helping people to connect through art and the unique qualities of textiles.
