Style and Recognition
Throughout her career, Appleton's work evolved from the rounded geometric forms she learned in London toward an increasingly decorative and schematic cubist style characterized by a lighter colour scheme. She often found inspiration in subjects such as bottles, describing painting as a "love affair." Her professional achievements were marked by several prestigious accolades, including:
- Rockdale Art Prize (1958)
- D'Arcy Morris Memorial Prize (1960)
- Bathurst Art Prize (1961)
- Portia Geach Memorial Award (1965)
In addition to her painting, she became interested in printmaking, which she practiced until 1980. Her life and work were celebrated through various solo exhibitions and a retrospective held at the Campbelltown City Bicentennial Art Gallery.
