Flowers make my heart sing, having an essential place in my life. From a young girl at my mom's feet, watching her create beautiful arrangements, playing with the broken and discarded pieces on the ground I found as my treasures to owning my own home, building and shaping my gardens and flower beds. Flowers are woven into my life; I love painting them, bringing the outside inside all year round. And are constantly filling various pots and vases, picked from my garden or the ditch, with equal enjoyment.
