I draw flowers every day and send them to my friends so they get fresh blooms every morning.

I want my flowers while I'm alive.

When I was little, I'd pick flowers wherever I traveled with my mom, then dry them, cover them with resin, and turn them into paperweights.

I want to die painting.

I perhaps owe having become a painter to flowers.

At my age flowers scare me.

Because I am really interested in gardening, I do really interesting plants, not even always flowers. And because I have grown them, I really know them like friends. I paint everything from exotic orchids to rosehips growing wild in a hedge. They just have to speak to me.

Scatter your flowers as you go; you will never go this way again.
