In 2012 the artist created her trilogy of pictures for our New Year greetings cards 2013 - 2015 within the space of a few months. As an artist she expects to immerse herself in this process of developing a tripartite work, and to bring it to completion. The pictures, symbolically representing the departure, the journey and pausing along the way, are used in the order of their creation.
