On With The Motley

The Moscow State Circus on a visit to Wales was persuaded to allow her to work behind the scenes while performers rehearsed or waited to enter the ring. She found the age old excitement of the big top a fascinating subject and she has since followed them to many more venues around the Country.

Swansea Prison gave her access to a six month close study of Prison life, she had full cooperation from the Prisoners and staff which resulted in a series of work which were exhibited at Attic Gallery in Swansea. One of which now is hanging in the National Assembly.

Other subjects include rugby and horse racing. Her love of travel has led to many landscape and figurative works in Brazil, Argentina, Cuba, China and many parts of Europe.

An ongoing interest in etching and lithography adds to the list of work already editioned.
