I have four pen and ink drawings, ‘Female Deities’, in  All About Drawing “the sensational new exhibition that positions drawing at its focus.”  This visually exciting show presents the work of 17 artists, based at Cross Street Arts, Wigan, who employ drawing within their practice.

These Female Deity drawings are inspired by the work of archaeologist Marija Gimbutas and her book ‘The Language of the Goddess’ in which she establishes the existence of Goddess worshiping, earth-centred, egalitarian and non violent cultures in the European archaic era.
