"Art for me is about discovery: I paint the large flowers slowly, letting my soul go into the heart of the flower as if I were a bee. The petals are strong enough to support me even though they may be translucent. I can travel into the flower and feel surrounded by it. Working on this large scale changes the way I view the world."
