Artist's Statement
As an artist I love the beauty of flowers and
nature. I love nothing better than spending the day outside painting. I
always try to incorporate it into my travels. Colour is also very
important to me. I paint in several mediums, but my favorite is oil, it
has a lovely buttery quality. When I am painting, I try to simplify what
I see.
