At the market . . .
This is another of my Faces of India series from my trip to India in March 2023. They are currently on exhibition at Shoppington in Te Kuiti. This lady was spied at the market. I am not sure it she was slightly crazy or just full of the joys of life
A Summer Exhibition - Intrepid journeys
Intrepid Journeys - Textile Art inspired by my travels
Over the Summer I will have a number of my quilts and thread paints on display at Shoppington. these pieces are memories from my overseas journeys and people or situations I have found myself in. they are a very personal record of real people and experiences. The exhibition is open till January 2025.
