List of Services

• My next Exhibition: Flower Visitors My 2025 Exhibition - Flower Visitors- will open at Darwin Visual Arts, Harbour View Plaza, on Friday 29th August 6-8pm.
  
  About the Exhibition
  Some visitors are welcome guests, repaying their host perhaps with services. Others give nothing in return for hospitality. They take whatever they can get and may damage their host. So it is with flowers and animals.
  From my woodland block in Humpty Doo, I have spent many pleasant hours and days observing and recording the most conspicuous of these interactions. A range of Birds visiting different Eucalypts and Kurrajongs; butterflies, bees, wasps – some of them new to science – feasting on native roadside annuals; Bee-flies humming above Turkeybushes; Blue banded bees drinking from scented native Jasminum; a whole range of passers by and visitors to Native grape; cockatoos and parrots stripping seeds and those nocturnal visitors– moths, crickets, fruit bats, gliders.
  I hope that after seeing this exhibition you will view these creatures not as destructive, disease carrying nuisances but as pollinators, remarkably adapted beings, a vital part of our ecosystems and our lives

  Congratulations to the group of artists who
  joined my collaborative 'workshop' at the Friends of Tumbling Waters Biodiversity festival last month. It's amazing how it all fitted together! Thank you all for your contributions and inspiration. And thank you Bruce Dunn for your photography.

• Silver - our last exhibition In April 2022, husband Mike Bowman and I put on a small joint exhibition at Darwin Visual Arts about Silver: combining my drawings of the silvery Eucalyptus alba in pastel and Silverpoint, with Mike's rustic silver jewelry and tableware. (which stole the show)
