July 2024

 

Ceramics has been my sole focus since I started at the age of 23.

I never imagined the day would come when I had to stop.

However, I realised I am only human, and I must deal with the fact that my body is aging.

It will be terribly difficult to step away from creating ceramics. My final act will be to complete some pieces I started last year.

I try to convince myself that I should feel grateful to have been able to continue up until the age of 90.

There will never be a chance to exhibit all my ‘new’ works, but I will exhibit a selection of my creations from my many years as a ceramic artist up until 2023

Between now and mid-2025 four exhibitions, two each in Canberra and Melbourne, will be held. The two exhibitions will be joint exhibitions with my late husband and my forever soulmate, Cornel Swen.

Through these exhibitions, I would once again like to share my passion for ceramics with the visitors and show my sincere gratitude to all those who have supported me over the years.

I’m hoping many people can come, meet me and view my works at these exhibitions.
