Well...I have been formally told that I shall remain disabled indefinitely. Even though the thought of that has been with me for a while, seeing it in black and white was VERY hard to deal with. Once certain processes have been processed, there may still be a chance for me to improve my mobility. But for now...I have to consider my life in another way. So..I continue to paint, continue to tell "my story" through colours, shapes and tones. I stretch my skills and my imagination to be able to create some happiness not just for me...but for others who see my work. I have been given an opportunity to display my work to the public as a whole unit. I have been booked for a solo exhibition in a Gallery in June for 2 months. This will mean a display of between 30 and 40 paintings in one area. It is not just an opening for me to sell paintings - it is a chance to share them!!!
14th June 2008. Cobblers Garden, Millthorpe NSW.

I could have been a dancer..a singer, a writer, an artist...BUT - I WAS a gardener!
I HATE the word WAS!
Ok.....the next best thing for me is...writer and artist.   I hope I do the world justice.
