I consistently return to the subject of "in her own space"— topics related to the lives of women. The people of Barbados, where my family had a home for almost four decades, continue to inspire me. As artist and as "almost Bajan", I am an observer and a witness— I am constantly on the look-out for people who "speak" to me, for the look or gesture which prods me to hang on to that moment, their moment, in paint.
Occasionally I paint other things: flowers, still life, rarely landscape.

“I am drawn to creating mosaics. It has to do with giving new life to old things and using random bits and pieces to create a new cohesive and meaningful whole. The history and earlier life of Barbados intrigue me. These pieces combine that interest: they are a song to Barbados.
Most of the shards used in these mosaics are from broken crockery and earthenware used by earlier generations, and are found on the ground in Barbados. The rains will bring these shards - sometimes hundreds of years old- to the surface. These little mementos of an earlier age are today threatened with extinction by the bulldozers of housing developers and the wheels of all-terrain vehicles, which show tourists out of the way places on the island.
The boards stand for two things: the vessels that brought, and still bring, people and most things to sustain life to the island, as well as the island of Barbados itself.
Over the years I have had help in collecting shards, particularly from members of the National Trust Sunday hikes led originally by Colin Hudson. Some of those members still collect shards for me, and many mornings I will find bags of broken pottery hanging from my gate. To all collectors, my most sincere thanks.”
