My Farewell Exhibition

On Sunday 28th April I held a Farewell Exhibition consisting of my Turtle Series plus three of my Black and White Series to raise funds to help me get my dogs over to Oz with me....

The Pukerua Bay Angels organised, catered and helped me to set up, and friends and family came along and supported....Thank you so very much ladies...you were awesome...and thank you too to everyone who came and supported, hung out and enjoyed the afternoon. :)

My sister Dee, me and the Pukerua Bay Angels - Jane, Jenina,  Lucie, and Carla.
