In the artist's studio

She creates surreal paintings that express her worldview with richly detailed, foreboding imagery and allegorical symbolism. The self-taught artist spends several months on each oil painting, working 6 days a week in her isolated studio in Queensland, Australia.

Rose Garden

 2008

[Oil on Canvas]

The painting has a surreal quality and comes from the artist’s realisation that as she grows older her thoughts and experiences have accumulated, as have the thorns on the ladder. The painting suggests a determination to advance regardless, meeting challenges head-on | Queensland Art Gallery Collection/Gallery of Modern Art
