Artist's statement:
I am often asked where I get my inspiration from and I find this an easy and complex question. How do I explain the dreams that come to me in the middle of the night? What do I say or articulate about a particular design that suddenly appears out of nowhere? It can be as simple as just taking a walk and seeing a garden that just amazes me. I could be on my way into New York and I am seeing a view I may have passed a thousand times and yet, it is as if I am seeing it for the very first time. A drive through a wildlife park can really get me going. Inspiration is all around us, I just make sure I go slowly enough to see it.
