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.
