She worked in Sydney as the first multicultural arts worker supported by the Australia Council for the Arts. In 1992 Daphne moved to Townsville where she continued working in performing and visual arts, and with migrant and disadvantaged communities, and also undertook tertiary studies at JCU. Daphne has held numerous exhibitions, both joint and solo, and has works in the JCU Art Collection and private collections in Queensland, Victoria, the UK, Switzerland, Germany and Holland. Her work explores the social and political effects of gender, mixed-race, colour and identity. She has recently relocated to Puglia, Italy, where she continues to paint.
