In her own words:
“I've
discovered that the more I paint, the more I want to paint. The longer I go on
doing it, the more I have to say and do. You pose a certain set of questions in
one group of paintings and you want to answer them in the next. One body of
work leads naturally to the next - you sort of feed off yourself. It's a
question of accepting the limits of painting and trying to be as imaginative
and expansive as possible within those boundaries.”
