At one time I kept on drawing a person leaping over a chasm but couldn’t find the words that said what it meant to me. It wasn’t until a friend from Cuba told me that there is a Cuban saying, ‘To try is to Triumph that I finally married the right words
for the image.' says Myrna.

Her work has a strong poetic content, a story is implied but not stated. She then uses the power of composition to work out the best way to convey what it. "If I want to suggest movement I make the main parts of the composition diagonal held together by horizontails,’ she explains. It is her colour and composition playing with scale that gives the work a power and tension.

This unique gift has won Myrna a following for her original fine art cards and prints. They respond to their warmth, humanity and hope.

In May 2005 she had her illustrations published in four books by Avanti press. They were co-written with Hazel Riley as part of a series From the Heart.

The Almanac Gallery has published much of her artwork. Myrna has illustrated a book of stories, which accompanied two exhibitions of modern stained glass by the artist John Patsalides. She also illustrated Fool and other drawings for a book Proud to Be Naked by Carolyn Joel Elva.
