My first official collection, Musings of a Marchioness, was started in 2006 and completed during the summer of 2009. This collection explores my range of styles from abstract expressionism, figurative and mixed-media forms on canvas. This body of work was an auspicious debut on the international art scene after two pieces O.D. and Passions Prevail - shortlist winner - from this collection of work were chosen as finalists for the 2009 London International Creative Competition, and later becoming a finalist.
