They routinely attract interest from her strong private following as well as the keen batch of dealers who handle her works.
Two emerged at Gloucestershire saleroom Kinghams (25/18/15% buyer’s premium) at the end of last year, both consigned from the same Cotswold-based private collector.
One was a slightly surreal but strikingly tonal still-life painting titled Jasmine & Moths (Pink).
The 19¾ x 23½in (50 x 60cm) oil on canvas was signed and dated 1988 and had plenty of visual impact which helped it attract ‘extensive pre-sale interest’ ahead of the December 7 auction in Moreton-In-Marsh, said the saleroom.
Estimated at £3000-5000, it drew a number of bidders before it was knocked down at £6000 to a UK private collector.
Moonlit landscape
The other picture by the artist was a later and smaller work on paper which showed figures and a black horse in a moonlit landscape.
Measuring 10¼ x 11½in (26 x 29cm), the gouache was signed and dated 1998 and came with a label on the back for dealer Richard Hagen Gallery.
Pitched at £1500-2000, it sold above estimate at £2400, again to a private collector.
