2023
In 2023 I took part two shows with In/Visible National Disabled Women's Art Collective titled All the Women I Could Have Been.
The shows were funded by Arts Council England and fully accessible. They took place in:
ARC, Stockton-On-Tees, North East 3 - 31 August 2023 and
Arts Depot, North Finchley, London 6 - 28 September 2023
Both exhibitions were also streamed live online for the people people who couldn't attend in person.
For these exhibitions I created my large polyptych – four paintings together - on the theme ‘All The Women I Could Have Been‘ and actually it's more Who I am really – titled ‘Life as Is, Not as Expected’
The piece was also exhibited in The Minories in Colchester in 2025.
