St Peters Basilica New Art
This painting was inspired by a peice in the Tate Gallery called The New Art, where young people were paid to run through the gallery at intervals. As usual, I copy this concept then I take it too far! My runners are the Little Nippers from Australia, doing a marathon through a religous institution.

Workers in the Tunnel
My husband was an industrial photographer, and recording the building of the railways and roads under Sydney was a regular commission. After he suffered a stroke, I assisted him in this work. I then fell in love with the visual excitement of the work environment, especially in the confined areas in the tunnels. I have my father appear from time to time. he is in this picture, looking at me. (I lost him and Mum in 2008. Hardly a day goes by when I don't think of them.)

The Poker Game
A trip to China was a rich source of imagery for paintings when I returned. We visited a small village that had kept its traditional ways. And we took many photographs.
This painting is of the local villagers playing poker in the winter sunlight.

The Haircut
Haircutting was on offer in the small village in China. I snapped a photo and enjoyed painting it when I returned home. A lovely memory for me.

Time To Go
We visited this miller's workplace and took some photographs. Our guide was chatting to them for some time, yet I had the feeling they were keen to get on with the delivery.
