Even as a child Daphne was highly attuned to relationships between people or within groups, often homing in on the smallest gestures or physical interactions that give away far more than words ever could.

Although Daphne concentrated on her structured compositions during the final years of her life, her observations of the human form and human interactions developed as a parallel track. These works range from skilled gestural works in pen/wash or mixed media, to far more detailed pencil works and painted portraits and groups. A small indicative selection can be seen below:
