Since her first exhibition in 1967, this accomplished artist has had many solo and group shows throughout the country and abroad. Her evocative works, styled in the contemporary genre of photorealism, can be found in many important private and public collections around the world. Constantly exploring new avenues of creative expression, her more recent mixed media creations employ metaphors to highlight the human experience. Further to her artistic endeavours, she has participated generously in the public life of the country through her involvement on provincial and national advisory boards and task forces.
