She first visited Taiwan as a guest of the British Council to give lectures and hold workshops at ‘Story House’ in Taipei and at Taichung and Kaochung Fine Art Museums. Bewitched by Taiwan and the Taiwanese people, she was fortunate to receive the unprecedented gift of a residency at Taipei Artists Village where she lived for two months, creating a large exhibition of work based on  experiments with Chinese ink painting and  western drawing and focussing on the concrete and stone environments of Taipei. She loves Taiwan and has a great affinity for the students emerging from Taiwan wishing to study in London.
