I tell you these stories because these things happen to everyone. It's not about being starched or polished or cute or polite. It's about having ears that stick out, about breaking yet another glass. It's about seeing something for the first time and making a million mistakes and not ever getting completely discouraged.

My short attention span has allowed me a life of diversity in work and place.

I live in a small world of gouache and brush and pen and ink. I'd like to explore the world of multiples - etching and prints.

Flowers lead to books, which lead to thinking and not thinking and then more flowers and music, music. Then many more flowers and many more books.

Everyone I know is looking for solace, hope and a tasty snack.

I said, 'Well, how much space do I have?' And they said, 'Well, you know, it's the Internet.'

if something does go wrong, here is my advice... KEEP CALM and CARRY ON.
