I have been commissioned several times for some unique projects including tapestries and a Melbourne Tram. The tram project was such fun to paint, and the response in Melbourne was a delight. Wherever I went I would meet people who would tell me, I saw your tram yesterday on the St Kilda line or the Preston line etc. At that time Victoria had a very forward thinking Arts Program. My tram will be resurrected in 2019 and back on the tram tracks, so keep an eye out for it.
