Early influences


As a young girl a good friend
gave me this stack of posters.
They were early Vogue covers
painted by Helen Dryden.
I must have studied these
paintings for 6 years every day.
They had an enormous
influence on my work.

Shoe Story

thrift stores, they had light up laces
and sat on a lovely little vintage
child's desk.

My friend's work


Marcia Wilson is a brilliant

as well as paint.

my last visit..
