"Through Space and Time the Ancient Sisterhood spoke to me"

Monica at her Retrospective Exhibtion in Bath, February 2004 Monica's  Retrospective Exhibition, called "Through Space and Time the Ancient Sisterhood spoke to me" was held at the Hotbath Gallery in Bath, U.K., from 28 January to 25 February 2004. The Private View took place on Imbolc night, the Celtic Seasonal Festival when the Goddess Brigit or Bride is honoured.

Monica was ill and crippled with secondary bone cancer, often in severe pain and knew that she inevitably would pass to the Otherworld, which she had so often visited in her visions and dreams.

She was deeply thankful to her friends Maggie Parks, Sheila Brown, Jill Smith and Cheryl Straffon, who were all involved in making it happen.
They all also did workshops and slide shows, including Monica herself for this momentous event. 

On the next 49 pages of Text and Pictures from the Catalogue of Monica's Retrospective Exhibition, we can get a glimpse of this overview of Monica's inspired and seemingly inexhaustible creativity. Reading the comments on her images is the next best thing to attending one of the slideshows she gave all round the world, whilst talking about the images and her life. 

Every page has a clickable picture and a link at the bottom, which takes you to a larger size image in the Art Gallery. Below the Image Title in the gallery, you'll find a link back to the page in this Retrospective Exhibition Section, so you can travel easily to and fro if you like.
Use the small blue triangular links at the top right hand of the page and the larger red ones at the bottom help you move from through this exhibition:
