Doreen\'s solo exhibitions in 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2011 have led to further demand for her work. The exhibitions showcased the important elements of her work; design, composition and a fascination for light playing on familiar subjects. Gouache is Doreen\'s current preferred medium, but she also works with transparent watercolour, mixed media and mono-printing.
