'The reason I highlighted this artist and exhibition is to encourage schools and other interested parties to go and enjoy seeing an artists work for real in the flesh. I find it stimulates ones imagination and her vibrant use of yellow, a colour synonymous with intelligence, clear thinking and health, seems to have worked wonders for her, she lived to the ripe old age of 98. That's some mean feat especially in the old days''. liamssoft.
