Images and
ideas arise spontaneously from the core of my being. My main
inspiration comes from nature.
Much of my
artwork reflects my concern for the environment. During the
creative process I access the intuitive part of myself.
In the fall
of 1948, my family emigrated to Canada.
That summer
we had a family reunion at my grandmother’s farm in England.
I have many
fond memories from this time.
This
painting was created from an old family photograph.
