Reworking some of my 90's sketches

I did loads of Niki de Saint Phalle inspired "girlie" sketches after writing my major essay on her in the early 90's . I visited the newly installed Stravinsky Fountain (also called the Fontaine des automates), by Jean Tinguely and Niki de Saint-Phalle outside the Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris in 1994. I was blown away!
I have been re-visiting some of these works & having lots of fun "playing" with them.

"She Sells Seashells… is inspired by Sharyne's local environment.

Sharyne and her 2 young daughters collected various flotsam and jetsam during walks along Sydney's Kurnell Beach which she stitched across 3 impressive canvases. Her most recent works are an endeavour to find harmony between nature and man’s impact upon it and a search to find beauty within the often harsh realities of life."
