My interest in art is lifelong; my childhood
ambition was to be an artist. My approach to painting is intuitive.
I most often start with colors and textures on the paper then look for
forms within the shapes which emerge. The paintings are done almost
exclusively in water-based media, through pastel, colored pencil and
collage are sometimes added. In recent years the paintings have most
often become impressions of flowers and leaves, reflecting my endless
fascination with garden subjects.
