She says, I remember the special quiet of rainy days when I felt that I could enter the pages of my beautiful picture books.

The detail in my work helps to convince me, and I hope others as well, that such places might be real.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a student at the Boston Museum School, she spent hours in the Museum of Fine Arts.

I'm delighted and surprised when fragments of these beautiful images come back to me in my painting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTravel is also a constant inspiration.
