When I returned from an eight year hiatus I vowed I would only paint what moved me, what inspired me, I would be true to my vision and I have abided by that. Before my hiatus, I was so despondent because I was painting for what others wanted, there was no joy left and I threw my brushes down vowing to never paint again. But, we moved to a horse community and I was so inspired by my Ahkal-Teke that soon, I was drawing him, then others saw and encouraged me. Then one of my art friends from years ago said, color - I know you can’t resist color. The only paints I hadn’t given away was a professional set of Sennelier watercolors. I had never worked in watercolor but I tried it, and I loved it!! Now, I’m preparing for galleries and I’m painting my love, my inspiration and I’ll never look back. Be true to yourself and your vision
