Reviews

"This landscape within herself developed into a hymn to rich almost automatic response as if she was breathing the variety in the natural landscape. Early spontaneity was to became a search for the lost innocence, a form of reconciliation with nature and celebration of the closeness between inner and outer worlds. Reflected in 2012 she calls for confidence in the emotions, a relaxed response to existence, and to the unique joy of every moment."
