In 2024 I began a new body of work involving small folding books which I call my Concertina Books. I now have completed twenty of these, three which have been gifted and many which are for sale. I have both the originals and some excellent scanned reproductions. In addition, Garry has designed a special frameContinue reading “Concertina Books”

I am preparing a new solo exhibition entitled ‘Scratching the Glass Ceiling’, based on my Life Drawings, from 1969 until 2025 . In this body of work I use simple tools and mediums; pencil, pen, wash, gouache and chalk. The glass ceiling is a metaphor for the invisible barriers people face. It may also be definedContinue reading “Scratching the Glass Ceiling”

I have only designed three stained glass windows, one for Margaret & Errol Grace, and two for our home at 37 Endeavour Drive, Winmalee. The first was an art Nouveau abstract design for the Graces. The second was a portrait in a circular window of a woman with flowing hair, inspired by the artist Mucha.Continue reading “My Stained Glass Window Designs”

While in my role at Regional Arts Coordinator for Western Sydney I developed a universal program as an offshoot of the Operation Art Program in which Garry and I, at our own expense, presented works of art by Western Sydney School children to children’s hospitals in four European capital cities; London, Dublin, Tallin and Helsinki.

During my ten years as the Regional Arts Coordinator for Western Sydney, NSW DET and the NSW Arts Unit, I hosted several camps for talented children. These masks were made by the students at the Up Front Face On Drama Camp and were used by the students in their final performance at the camp.

During my life I have painted and renovated twenty-four dolls houses and hundreds of little toys, a labour of love which began in the 1970’s when my husband Garry made a simple replica of our Cape Cod House, at 521 Great Western Highway in Faulconbridge. I called this first house ‘The Faulconbridge House’. I renovatedContinue reading “Dolls Houses & Toys”

For many years I have been working on a body of work which uses nature’s detritus, discarded banksia seedpods, sticks and fuchsia gum nuts. I describe my body of work as a retrospective exhibition, entitled ‘REGENERATION’, a metaphor for rebirth and renewal. I deconstruct this condition through my poetry and by using the sticks andContinue reading “Regeneration 2021”
