“A very crucial part of my life is being an artist. Since childhood I have enjoyed living in a mental realm of my own, where images are ever-present and colorful. As an artist I draw from my imagination, from those stored memories of things I have loved and that have affected me emotionally. Animals have always given me a sense of peace and calm and a feeling of joy because of their innate goodness. And so, it is often their images that constantly occur and inspire me. With brushes and paints I create the subjects of my paintings as peaceful and beautiful.”
