A few words from the artist

For me, it's like an itch that needs to be scratched. An idea comes to me in many ways - possibly by looking at nature, other paintings, a color, from a dream, even from a word or sentence I might read or hear. And I just cannot get it out of my head (sort-of like a piece of music that drives you crazy playing over and over in your mind) unless I paint it. There is a feeling of relief and, also, a deep satisfaction, after that painting is out of me - even if the painting turns out to be different than what I "expected".
