Hats that can light up your life! I have been working on the idea of hats that can light up - ideal for evening wear (or helping you see in the dark!). 'Shooting Star', features battery operated lights, and will be shown during the 'Crowning Glory' Travelling Exhibition throughout 2008 and 2009.

Check out details of my Solo Exhibition - 'Journeys: Realities and Imaginings'  shown at Birnam Arts Centre, throughout July 2007

The latest 'Hatwalk in Wonderland' was staged in St. Stephen's Church in Edinburgh on 6th and 7th June, 2008 - giving 2 matinees and 2 evening performances.

This time my theme was the 'Cosmos', when I explored the notion of creating hats that were lit, evoking stars, planets, and such phenomena as 'Northern Lights', 'Southern Lights', and 'Green Flashes' seen at sunset over the Pacific Ocean.
