This is the first ‘Circle of Hope’ installed in my garden October 09. The large flags are composites of individual flags made in the workshops of ‘On The Wings Of Desire’, May 30th – June 3rd 09.

The workshops were held in my studio, and at that time were installed on the peripheral railing of St Catherine’s Chapel.
Quangles Choir closed the week’s activities with an a cap ell a recital held in the chapel.

I am an artist, born in Canada and presently living and painting in the U.K. In my painting I work with what I call the ‘interior landscape’; I use images and ideas from my dreams to help me represent visually the mountain ranges and coastal plains inside a person. My studio is an old chapel situated in Abbotsbury, a 600-year-old village in South West Dorset. This is where I work and exhibit my paintings... It is also the place where I hold my Art Therapy workshops. The studio is open to the public all year round.
