A taste of my three month Artist residency in John Muafangejo Art Centre in Windhoek, Namibia, where I experimented in dyeing and printing on fabric creating new work, gave a workshop to the students in the College of the Arts and worked with children in Moreson Special Needs school, Finished with an exhibition of my work in the JMAC gallery and saw some of the beautiful countryside.
