In 2018, the first flickers of hope began rising within me and I began the task of creating new work for this solo exhibition held at The Forest Heritage Centre, Dwellingup, WA. Still unsure and lacking in confidence, I was still trying desperately to find my voice as an artist. With a strong influence of plein air painting behind me, but desiring to paint with an abstract view, the paintings presented definite delineation aspects with emphasis of surface texture.
