It's such a human condition, whether you're a great track star or a great knitting person or you paint watercolors - someone knows who you are.

That so many people respond to me is fabulous. It is like having a kind of Alzheimer's disease, where everyone knows you and you don't know anyone.

But where there is no art show, I would still be painting.

Women are beginning to lose their identity. They have jumped with teeth clenched, fists braced and eyes aglow, into the competitive man's world. They're losing the vibrant quality of femininity, the aura of mystery.

We're all brought up in a world that isn't the best place for us to be in once in a while. There are so many problems and we try to overcome them all.

Painting is much more than therapy to me its a way of life.

I've always believed that service to others is rent we pay for our time on this planet.
