I actually need to paint. It makes me feel balanced and nourished. 
When I paint, I go somewhere. I feel it, and the air and space around me changes.....it's as though I enter another dimension.
I'm calm, focused, and completely present.

Painting is a deconstruction of my sense of self.
Painting flowers in particular, is an extension of my fascination with the natural world. I’m seeking to capture the essence of the flower I paint, to recreate the energy of it on the paper.
