Just before the long covid "Lock Down", we had just moved into a new home, and there was no studio. Finally, we had one built, but then my husband became ill. I did no work for a long time. Finally, all is well, and I am once again in the studio, painting daily, and have had many enquiries from folk wanting to know when I will next be exhibiting at the Albany so I am delighted to be including a number of paintings for the 2022 Summer Show!
