Other significant places including Lake Mungo featured in my exhibition are found in Nitmiluk and Kakadu National Parks, the Karijini National Park and at Point Roadknight, a small promontory along The Great Ocean Road.

Along the sides of the Katherine Gorge passages of sediment configured in ways that reminded me of ancient texts in stone.
Downward Drift, 2014, intaglio and chine-colle
As oxygen entered Earth’s atmosphere it caused iron laden sediment in the ocean to rust, fall to the sea floor and over eons compress into The Banded Iron Formation found in the Pilbara. In this etching – intaglio and chine-colle I imagined the process of sedimentation.
Tidal Surge, 2010, intaglio and collage 26×16 cm print, 48×35 cm paper
A mineralised root system, part of the Point Roadknight promontory, called the “Petrified Forest” resembled an ancient ruin complete with columns, portico and entablature. Now non-existent due to high winter tides, sea spray and wind.
LANDforms exhibition invitation. October 21- November 8
I have been producing oil paintings, mixed media, prints (etching), digital prints and drawings for many years travelling to the Australian outback and overseas for inspiration and further education.
My formal education consists of a PhD in painting and a BA in printmaking and my artwork is represented in public and private collections.
My purpose and ongoing challenge is to create a gender-balanced and environment-focused iconography within the Western canon of European oil painting.
These themes find expression within imagery about time, memory and identity as well as in geomorphology of evolutionary and environmental significance.
