At present I am concentrating on the mediums of painting and photography, landscapes and botanical subjects in particular.  Weaving and fibre still remain an important part of my creative directions.

These images form part of a series of painting and sculptures entitled Of Landscape & Memory part of a solo exhibition in October 2010 at the Gallery.
