In my ‘ONLY WE KNOW’ series I was inspired by Georgia O’Keeffe and like her I love bright, bold and intense greens, reds, purples, yellows, blues and black to paint. I often use flat colour, emphasizing the shape of subject rather than three-dimensional form. I painted flowers much larger than life so that people would take notice and experience them the same way I did, making them appear monumental. - I used flowers as subject matter presenting anatomy of the flower in sharp focus, painted as if looking at them through a magnifying glass.. also expressing hidden ways of portraying personality’s of the leading man in my life at the time.
