Recent Exhibitions:

• I exhibited 10-15th June 2011at the Aldeburgh Festival this year in 'A Collectors Exhibition' at the Aldeburgh Gallery .
• In May, June and July 2011 I exhibited at three venues in the Brecon Beacons area. They were the Haymakers Gallery in Hay-on-Wye, the Five Ways gallery in Partrishow and the Usk Gallery in Crickhowell.

• As part of the Crickhowell and area Art Trail and Open Studios over the bank holiday at the end of May I exhibited at Llanbedr Church and The Gallery on the Usk. 

• At the beginning of October 2010 I gave a talk and showed some of my work at The Henley Literary Festival in Oxfordshire. I concentrated on describing my technique and how I applied it to my work. The talk was well attended and I felt that it was well received. Plenty of questions were asked at the end so that was a good measure of the interest generated! 

• In June 2010 I exhibited at Frank and Christine Taylor's  'Fircroft Summer Exhibition'. This was a truly wonderful event and there was a stunning variety of work on show, including painting, sculpture, ceramics, jewellery, print, textiles and glass. All work was displayed in their lovely home or, where appropriate, in the beautifully landscaped garden. The exhibition ran from the 12th June to the 27th June. I was very pleased with the positive reaction people had with my new work and this was reflected in sales of over 35 pieces of my artwork, a terrrific result!

•  I gave a talk at Bourne End Library on Tuesday 30th March 2010 entitled 'Crocodiles and Lady Detectives'. I used my first ever 'PowerPoint Presentation' to deliver the talk, - (you may know that I'm not particularly a computer lover!) - which was very well received.

• I exhibited at a very successful event  in Wivenhoe on the 5th and 6th December 2009. My pictures were in the 'Crockers Joinery' in 27 West Street (Telephone 01206 825194), marked '5' on the map. It was part of the 'Wivenhoe Christmas Presence' event which is held each year in December.

• I exhibited at the Wooburn Visual Arts Exhibition in Buckinghamshire (3 - 10th October 2009) and at the Fry Gallery in Saffron Walden www.fryartgallery.org  on the 7th and 8th November 2009. I was delighted to be part of both these events.

Her exhibition was held in the unique Stewart Linford Chairmaker Factory and Showroom in High Wycombe from the 13th to the 28th June 2009."
