Elaine's Lady, always occupied with her rural life, is based on Elaine's impressions of the world around her, "Busy as Mother Nature is with her rural lifestyle, my Lady reminds me of people I see every day. She is happy and independent, aware of the seasons and the demands of her creatures. I do just a fraction of what she does so I hope empathy and praise show through."

From wallhangings featuring prospectors to watercolours of playful golfers and intimate portraits of grandparents and children, Andy's people have developed from his own life experiences.
