Painting Portfolio

2024

The studio has been renovated, tidied up and all the work catalogued. There is lightness all around. 

2023

The PARTage workshop in Mauritius was a highlight. Weaving the colours of sea and fresh air every day.

2022

Lockdown was really helpful as my studio fitness pushed into longer hours of focus and work in the studio.

2021

The studio was filled with revelation and reverberation of memories. I had time to remember artworks I had visited over the years. 

2010 – 2020

Unfolding into spring; the Triangle workshop in Salem, New York.  A decade of exploration and extension of colour and scale.

2000s

Notions of being, moments of being; exploring more literally my curiosity for fabric, print, design. Weaving paper, paper sculptures. 

1990s

Large yellow paintings, installed to vibrate and sing. Wide open spaces included describing the jetties in Veldrift.

1980s

Working between homemaking and mothering, teaching, weaving, discovering a new city, Cape Town.

1970s

Living and working In Johannesburg. Moving out of school, an art room and friends that became a sanctuary.
