The biography. I have been making art for more than 60 years. During this time I tried to balance the role of wife, mother and community involvement, with my creative work. All through these years my work has energized and sustained me, giving me reason for embracing life. Having lived in a few different cultures and under Communist and Fascist regimes, I am attuned to diversity of expression and am keenly aware of how precious freedom is. I am suspicious of prescribed policies, be they in art or elsewhere. My natural instinct is to go against trends or fashions, this being one of the reasons why I have never followed any in my artistic practices. |
