Painter, printmaker and designer active from the early 1950s until well into the second decade of the 21st century. One of only three women to be exhibited in The Field of 1968, she was awarded the 1973 Archibald Prize. With her husband, the writer Michael Boddy, she then relocated to Binalong, near Yass, where they grew food and studied the skies. The world of nature, great and small, became the source for her art.
