ESCAPE I Porcelain artform purchased by the ART GALLERY OF W.A. held in their permanent craft collection.

The opportunity to exhibit with a group of the first graduates of the ONGLAZE CERTIFICATE TAFE in TRENDS IN PORCELAIN at the FREMANTLE ART GALLERY led me to creating in a style which has since been noted as Contempory. When I read in the West Australian how our parrots were being smuggled out of Australia I decided that this was my opportunity to go out on a limb and create a body of works that conveyed current events. I was thrilled and rewarded when Robert Bell the Curator of the Craft Gallery of the Art Gallery of W.A. approached me regarding the purchase.
