During my working life I have not brought together all the creative, art writing and other
commentary together. My current goal is to pull this together on a joint website including
the work of my husband artist Rex Dixon. We have both contributed to and been
preservers of art and art histories in the wider Caribbean and would like to make this
accessible to an international and regional audience.
