I live in Lewisham, in the inner west of Sydney, on the lands and waters of the Gadigal and Wangal people.
My studio is in one fifth of a repurposed fibro hut at the Addison Road Community Centre in Marrickville, NSW.
The site is built over a seasonal wetland and served as an army depot
from 1913 - 1975.
​My studio is quiet, bright and airy and frequently visited by local native birds.

I live in Brisbane, in a 100 yr old Queenslander house.  
The natural timbers in the house and my tropical garden give me inspiration everyday. 
My studio is also my office, creative space and teaching workshop space.  
Every time I walk into my studio a feel a sense of calm, joy and possibility.
There is a lot of my old work that inspires me. I still have the 1st dog I ever felted
to remind me of how far I have come.
But the big windows and doors that fill the studio with light are my favourite thing. 

​* Extra large rice bag to felt on
* Ashfords wild carding machine
* Beautiful Aussie and Kiwi wools
* All my creative students and lovely customers that brings so much energy and light

I live in Wonthaggi near Bass Strait.
My creative space which is the centre of my universe. 
A converted office space in our house that has external access so I can open the stacker doors and listen to birdsong as I create. 
​Space/time disappears in this room as I consider colour, form and texture for inspiration.

​Peace and quiet to create.
Visual access to colour at all times.  Our house is full of my art.
My solid wooden high set felting table that my husband designed and constructed.
My vast bead stash for jewellery and bead embroidery design.  I sell my jewellery in a few art galleries.
My computer and IPad so I can see what is going on in the “outside world”.
The unbending loyalty of dogs.
My dye pans and set up outside.
Keeping in touch with fellow creatives around the world.
My five year plan.
Working on my second book for the intellectual stimulation in these truly isolating times.

My studio in rural Ohio leads to the back garden, which is green, tangled, and largely overgrown.
I look at leafy trees in the summer and snow piles in the winter. I can see the sky from where I sit.
The dog is always underfoot.
Luckily, there is enough room to dance around.
 have studios in Southeastern Ohio and the San Francisco Bay Area, California.

I live in the mountains of Santa Fe, New Mexico. 
My studio has been a dream in the making for many years. I imagined it before we even found our home. The space where the studio would be built was originally a basketball court. I would sit in my visioning chair and imagine it completed. The garden completes it.

​WORKSHOP WITH FIBRE ARTS (coming in September 2023)

I divide my time between Santa Cruz, California and the Sierra Nevada Foothills in California
My studio is on the lower level of my home – below the main living area.
​I love that it is separate so that when I’m down there I feel miles away, but I can also pop up and down the stairs at any time.

Old European linen
Japanese needles
Collection of threads

I live on the Kapiti Coast in New Zealand
My studio is where I go to come back to myself, day after day. 
What it looks like is less important than what I do in the space. 
I have to remind myself of this over and over again as my space is a work in progress. 
 gave up my big beautiful purpose built studio in Denver when I moved to New Zealand.  And while I left that space behind - what I didn't leave behind is myself. 
And my need and desire to create.
 
Using my space as the reason I can't create is simply and excuse. 
​I can make beauty anywhere I believe I can.

- A couple of squares of 100% dark chocolate in the morning
- My seam ripper - not "A" seam ripper - but "My" seam ripper.  The
purple one I've been using since the mid 1970s.  Originally purchased
for my home ec class in jr high. In all of it's cheap raggedy glory it
has a nice smooth rounded end.   I use that feature to my advantage. 
I've never been able to find a similar one.  When I pick up a newer one,
the pointy end very rudely cuts threads.
 - My love of making
 - Heap of colors of thread (which of course I inventory in a spreadsheet)
 - Great audio books
 - My studio sketchbook - for my ideas, my work in progress and keeping track of the time I put into the studio
 - My sewing table, where my sewing machine sits flush with the table top. 
- While actually can live without this and did for my first year in New Zealand
- my shoulders are much happier with good ergonomics
 - Ibuprofen - for those days I spend 8 hours in the studio without taking a break
 me out there in the wild world

LISA'S WORKSHOP WITH FIBRE ARTS APRIL 2023

​My studio space is my home and my garden which is sitting in the foothills south of Richmond overlooking the Waimea Plains, Tasman Bay and the Southern Alps.

I cannot separate my art from my life, and this stimulating environment, enables me to be creative and challenge myself without leaving home!

1. My creative home/studio space with its expansive views
2.The large antique armchair where I work on a daily basis
3. The Nelson Recycling Centre
4. The contact with students and other artist
5. The variety of workspaces inside my home and out in the garden
6. My laptop – I can easily research other artists, concepts and ideas

I live in Bowen, a sunny seaside town in North Queensland.  

I have two messy art spaces in my home where you will find me on most days.  
The views I observe  daily from my studio window inspire me to create art centred on my local environment.  
​It’s a place that is calm and peaceful and fills me up with so many ideas.  

​Sea air 
My three Dogs and a cat 
Books and magazines 
A gelliplate

I live in Australia’s  Capital, Canberra – a place of four seasons.

The last few years have been my big chance to buckle down and work on 'gunna do’ projects.
The lack of distractions and the gift of time allowed me to finish a major embroidery work and write about my process.
My book Improv Embroidery exposed me to new experiences, podcasts, magazine reviews, and a studio head shot for publications.
Have you noticed how we all show our work and studio but no faces?
So here I am.
​No longer invisible. 

​Editor's Note...
This is the link to purchase Carol's Improv Embroidery book... 

​My husband who does technical support, says nice things about my work and never says no.
My dog Buddy, follows me to the studio before the sun comes up and his snoring
Thread, needle and  a bit of fabric keeps me as happy
A new challenge and for me that was writing a book
Natural light sunshine and a bit of warmth
