"My
subject matter is nature, whether it is a tradition, landscape or a bird and
flower painting. I use a colourful palette materials, acrylics, pastels, water
colour and brush, to capture movement and life — making the brush dance
and the colours sing. Everything is captured in the spontaneous dance and
movement of the brush as it foretells a story. The story of the artist and the
world around her.”
