I want to introduce you to my darling dad, Graham. He will soon be 93 years old. Here he is showing us a rabbit trap that has been in his family for over 100 years. I love hearing the stories of our family. We are one of the founding families of the Central West of NSW. I really think being so quintessentially Australian influences my art and choice of subjects. I spent time collecting lots of 'old stuff' while I was home in Bathurst. Lots of goodies for my collage work. I really loved listening to my mother reading Henry Lawson poetry and I entertained the family with some of my favourite Banjo Paterson renditions too.
