Painting is something that I have to do. When I paint, I step away from the tempo of ordinary life and drop into another plane—a space where I can feel fully, integrate and dream. It’s a magical realm.
As a child, I painted with my grandmother. We loved to paint flowers together, either in her garden or from a large bouquet on her kitchen table. She encouraged me to trust and paint what I saw. Whenever I paint, I feel her spirit nearby.
