Your Questions, Answered

  • I have a studio in 1000 Parker St Studios, Vancouver. If you would like to arrange for a studio visit, please contact me.

    I often open my studio for the First Saturday of the month. Check www.firstsaturday.ca to check if I’m open.

    Please see the exhibitions page for current and future exhibitions.

  • I have a shop page on the website where I endeavour to display all work that is currently available for sale as well as prints and postcards.

    If you have seen my work and it’s not on that page, it’s likely because I plan to exhibit it in an upcoming show. Please ask me - it may be possible to come to some arrangement.

  • As of Jan 2026 I am closed for commissions but may reopen later in the year... Watch this space! Below is some information about the commission process.

    I enjoy doing commissions when I have the freedom to make work that aligns with my style and subject matter.

    If you are interested in a commission we would discuss what you are looking for, particularly in terms of size, subject and budget. Then if it feels like a good fit for both parties I would present you with a selection of photos to choose from. I always work directly from photos so the photo would be a good indication of what the final piece would look like.

    There is a 50% non-refundable deposit at the outset and the remainder is due upon completion.

  • I’m afraid I don’t offer workshops. I only work part time as an artist so I like to focus on making new work when I get time in the studio.

    There are several textile artists who have created online tutorials so generally I recommend looking in to those.

  • It’s notoriously difficult to price original art work! For a long time I tried to make my pricing accessible to as many people as possible but this is very unsustainable because my work takes an incredibly long time to create.

    Now I start with a base rate of $10 per square inch but if the artwork includes a lot of complexity the price increases to reflect the extra hours.

  • Art made with wool is a lot more robust than it looks! Due to its composition, it is a dry medium so it won’t go mouldy. It also repels dust although you will have to dust any surrounding frame.

    Moths will only lay their larvae in the dark so as long as you keep your art work in a well lit room they won’t be a problem.

    Original art should never be placed in direct sunlight and this is true for wool too but it’s especially the case for naturally dyed pieces that are not quite as light fast… Most of my work is not naturally dyed but ask me if you’re unsure.

    You will need to protect them from curious pets (and possibly young humans!) so if you anticipate this being a hazard I recommend framing with non-reflective glass so you can still enjoy the depth and three dimensionality of the work without the risk of damage.

    If you buy an original piece from me I commit to repairing it if it gets damaged.
