Works in the National Gallery of Australia, Canberra, ACT (see www.australianprints.gov.au) include the Earthworks Poster Collective colour poster made from multiple stencils, Pow! Never underestimate the power of a woman 1977 (2nd edition) – a screenprint of Lucy bashing Linus from Charles Schultz’s Charlie Brown. JK has one of her Canberra Beaches series (National Gallery of Australia, Canberra, ACT). She was represented by Watters Gallery until she gave up art because of poisoning by chemicals used to make posters at the Tin Sheds, where she worked as a tutor. Her final work was a dramatic Death in Custody poster (a sock in Aboriginal colours as a noose); it was included in James Kerr’s Bicentennial Exhibition, Out of Sight, out of mind (SH Ervin Gallery, National Trust, 1988).
