As
an educator Power's vision is to awaken the individual to the latent
creative energy within us all. As a mixed media artist, she encourages
exploration and discovery through the manipulation of a variety
of media. She selects from skills and techniques as varied as design,
drawing, paint, print, assemblage, laser copy, applique, machine
and hand embroidery, beading and hand paper and book making.
Power has worked in settings as diverse as hospitals, schools, community
centres, gaols, public housing, women's groups, as well as with
textile artists and students.
Be they three or eighty-three, Power believes that any individual
can find pleasure and satisfaction in the stimulation and challenge
of the creative process, and that to create and make invariably
promotes a feeling of self worth and empowerment.
Power has carried this vision into her extensive involvement in
community projects. A
selection of the work that has come out of some of these projects
is illustrated below.
