The most inspiring objects are books. I have about 5,000 volumes in my home library. It's an unending source of visuals and ideas.

My dream is to walk around the world. A smallish backpack, all essentials neatly in place. A camera. A notebook. A traveling paint set. A hat. Good shoes. A nice pleated (green?) skirt for the occasional seaside hotel afternoon dance.

My workspace is defined by books, ephemera, quiet and light. I don't have a computer, telephone or a fax machine there.

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

What protects you in this world from sadness and from the loss of an ability to do something? ... Work and love.

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.

I like the brooding man - a brooding man with a sense of humor.
