of farm scene, a wildlife sketch, ora wintersnow or summer scene.
She is frequently inspired to createthenatural beauty in miniature
and to recreate nostalgic glimpsesofhistory through the buildings
and landscapes in historic areas.
The artist says, "I like to anticipate themagicalhappenings
between myself and my artwork. I never getbored, becauseI know
that I will never be able to recreate allthe subconsciousvisions
and interpretations that I have storedaway in my mind.Creating
works of art is poetic. The creativitythat I can haveby manipulating
brushes, engraving tools, varioustypes of platesand color variations
makes each work of art seemlike a happy accident.These happenings
will preserve for thefuture treasures of presentand past."
