Modus operandi

 

My attitude to my work can only be described as extreme. 
As a young girl I was haunted with paintings in my head. 
Now in the centre of my life I love them, live them, make 
them, embrace them and share them, I have no other way. 
I come from a long line of dedicated workaholics and see 
myself speaking in this language of the arts for always 
as for questions of who is listening, I’m working hard 
on that too.
