The traces of time are all around us and they have little effect on our senses that is, until it becomes time to paint the house. One of the beginning Australian artists to paint rural and urban scenes, his drawing skills and discipline allowed him to capture the areas he frequented, in a style unique to himself. Prior the arrival of the mgr artists from Europe, the landscape was the main source of inspiration for the locals. This work, Echolalia (The Road) which can also be found in the collection of the National Gallery of Australia delves into those notions of memory and subjectivity. Well schooled in art and popular from the beginning the reviews of her exhibitions were mainly complimentary and encouraging.

She loved native gardens and established a nice one at her home. Eventually she said something along the lines of There will be children there and some people who might not comprehend that as an art piece.
