Objects of Desire Series
'Objects of Desire Series' is an ongoing collection of works begun in London in 1997 using otherwise useless and abandoned objects as 'clones' to represent our more fanciful or obsessive urges.

On Line Series
'On Line' is a series of work from my London studio which bore no relationship to the Internet when this body of work was created in 1994. It refers to the exploration of line and its use on and off, through and outside the canvas. These images range in size from very small to 3 meters wide, the largest scale of works to date.

Cyprus Loot
My ties with Cyprus stem from a complicated project with my ex-husband and Co-Founder of the Monagri Foundation; a charitable foundation formed to restore an ancient and beautiful monastery to become an international Centre for Contemporary Art. Artists from all over the world are invited to come and live/work there. The restored monastery was also my home while in Cyprus.
I am very proud that many examples of my own artwork still remain in private and public collections throughout Cyprus as tangible proof of my life and work there.
'Cyprus Loot ' is a collection of work symbolic of this beautiful island and the lovely people I knew and will always remember there .

Bridge Series
'The Bridge Series' is a series of work resulting from a visit to several cities of Yugoslavia in 1988. and in particular, the cities of Mostar and Ljubljana. This trip took place before the war and break-up of Yugoslavia as a country but the tension could be felt even then. The Bridges stuck in my mind as symbols of the desperate need to solve the gaps between rival factions in the various communities. Unfortunately, the Mostar Bridge was later destroyed during the fighting.

Fylde Series
'The Fylde Series' is a series of work completed whilst living at the Weeton Army Barracks just outside Blackpool, Lancashire from 1987-90. My studio was an abandoned Nissan hut adjacent to the fields used for military exercises. There were few trees in this area near the sea, and those that existed were permanently bent to the ground by the wind. The elements prevailed and much of my work was reminiscent of the wind and rain and their constant effort to pry my flimsy hut from its makeshift foundations. The Four Seasons of the Sea below are from the Fylde Coast.
