My collage was inspired by a very dear Australian friend of mine who happens to be a fine artist. She displayed her collage on the dark blue walls of her beautiful Victorian house in Melbourne. We walked and talked so often on the sands of Beaconsfield beach, sharing our travel stories. Her collages were inspired by her years in Asia Pacific. Mine, this one in particular, is inspired by the magnificent experience my kids had in rural Australia for two months, part of their school curriculum.
