Some new friends!


I was really excited to meet two artists from the Wynnum/ Manly areas in the last month.  Linda I posted about  after our visit to her exhibition at West End with her friend Helen McIntosh.  They came to visit me at my new home.

We had our afternoon tea and shared images of our works.

As it turned out, we had a great deal in common.  Our works championing woman. and

her symbols in particular.  I was so impressed with Helen and Linda's work.  I just love 

artists...they give so much of themselves.


Attached is a textile work by Helen. Below is a collage by Linda. You can see more works by these two very talented artists at:

"The Iconlady is an old friend. She has travelled with me for 30 years , Criss-crossing. Textile and painting terrain, with side trips into new territory such as mosaics, doll making, and jewellery. Our journey is progressing and will last my lifetime".    Helen Macintosh
