I HAVE always been inspired by nature in all its forms. The energy that flowers, buds, plants, and leaves can bring to us is profound and vital, and also deeply rewarding. Their beauty fascinates me and infuses so much of my work. From the tiniest speck of a seed or an unassuming gnarled tuber comes forth such magical loveliness and soul. Flowers, leaves, buds, and plants make all the difference to any space - breathing life into the walls and the interiors and affecting the way we live within them.
