Worked in oils, watercolours, acrylics and ceramics. 1960s abstracts and lino prints. Later there was a return to painting and sketching, often with a bolder outlined style. In the last few years the well known roses and other floral motifs were produced as well as items influenced by her interest in Jungian concepts and symbolism.

Note: Her most famous work is a quartet of pen and watercolour McCusker roses donated and then auctioned as a fundraiser for the McCusker Foundation for Alzheimer’s Disease Research in 2001. These were subsequently turned into a printed set of gift cards.
