A frank and intimate portrayal of this artist, who until the death of her husband, painter Roger Hilton in 1975, had felt unable to take up the interrupted thread of her earlier work that had shown so much promise. The book features her diary entries which are skilfully interwoven with the narrative text thus revealing the emotional and psychological battle she fought to regain her identity and begin work again – to much critical acclaim. The artist was actively involved with the production of this book. An extensive exhibition at Messum’s accompanied the publication of the book.
