Sir Charles in his opening address described the huge volume of work as not only impressive but refreshingly untouched by commercialism.
Her work is very diverse ranging from oil paintings, (although she now uses predominantly acrylic), water colours, wood carving, ceramics and silver work.
Her sterling silver napkin rings are very popular and are much sought after as wedding presents and christening gifts, They depict mainly West Australian flora and fauna and are inspired by her association with the Internationally renown silversmith and artist -the late JA(Jamie) Linton in whose silver studio she was a frequent visitor as a teenager. JA Linton is most famous for his Australian wildflower series of cutlery which are in the collections of most European Royal Houses as well as former Presidents of the United States as well as the current Queen of England. It was one of his famous stirling silver wildflower spoons that he gave her as a 21 st birthday present that has inspired her the most. Caren is totaly self taught and she has achieved a remarkable high standard of skill in all of her genres- which is testament to her natural talents.She has receieved a number of commissions including from Soroptimist International branches to design and make the Presidents Jewel.
