" Each flower type has its own personality and an endless variety of colors to choose from - to help set the mood. As an artist, It offers me a bountiful source of inspiration. I even take photos of flowers at my local grocery store, restaurants, botanical garden, on my travels and over my neighbor's fence.

Flowers are a reminder of the joy of life and hope. Color has great meaning in all my paintings, as does sunlight. I am also intrigued by flowers as they fade, it reminds me that this is a reflection of time in our own journey. "
