Antoinette began her creative career as a composer, working with
magnetic tape and electronic synthesisers to produce layered work with  fragmented sounds and live instruments.

She was the first woman composer of  Asian origin in Australia, winning several prizes in composition at the beginning of her career. 

She  later trained as a painter & tapestry artist, setting up the practice of  community tapestries in Western Australia. She has been responsible for at least 6 community tapestry projects (King Edward, Princess Margaret & Mercy Hospitals, Shire of Kalamunda & City of Melville), mentoring a new generation of WA tapestry weavers.

Antoinette’s tapestries reference the piano with wire warps and weft  consisting of fragmented music scores, some of these scores are her own musical compositions.
