As a renowned printmaker she uses her work to make connections between people and place.

After buying the old Ida Valley Hotel in the 1980s this area of Central Otago became a focus for her interest in protecting the ecological, spiritual and cultural features of the land. The feminine circular symbols at the bottom of Blue Night Ida Valley contain the elements of earth, air, water and fire; while the monotype above depicts the night sky of the Ida Valley.
