I love to hear from people who enjoy my paintings! From time to time, I will publish on this page just some of the kind things that have been said about my work.

"I just visited your website and I am so mesmerized by your work! I am a student in the US working toward a BA in art at The University of Northern Iowa. I am currently working on an independent project and looking for inspiration, and I found you pieces so vibrant and inspirational that I just had to contact you and tell you so. I love how you talk about using newspaper and other found objects to make a messy background to start with, and then from there you work toward order. Most interesting!"

And 3 days later, the same lady sent the following comment:

"I just opened up my email and my heart skipped a beat when I saw that you had responded to my email! Thank you for taking the time to write me back.
I personally find watercolor a very difficult medium to work in because of the unpredictableness of it. However, it is apparent that what attracts you to it is how spontaneous it is! Your sense of color is so profound, and the tactile flavor of your work is very intoxicating. I feel a certain syncronicity with your paintings in that the tactile, textured quality of your work is a pictorial language that I too speak in."

I gave a Workshop recently and one of my students wrote to me as follows:

"What a wonderful painting morning, I did enjoy it. I so love your work. Thank you for your encouragement. I havn't painted for such a long time but after the morning with you I feel I want to make it a major part of my life again.

I am in awe of your work. I so love the looseness of it and I know I can learn a lot from you. I am so looking forward to next week. I will get loads out of it and I love being with fellow artists. Look forward to seeing you.

Kind Regards,

Liz."

Here are two other notes recently received:

"I am fascinated by your watercolours. I love the way you use a free flowing technique. I am new to painting. I took a class 4 months ago and have been painting literally daily...I absolutley love it. I hope someday to be half as talented as you, thank you for more inspiration. I have attached a few of my watercolours for you to see." (Ben Potter)

"I run a small business on the Isle of White and I am looking at starting a website for my business. Wow! Your work is FAB! I love to bits your great and fun use of colour. So cheering on a cold blowing winters day down here on the not quite so sunny Isle of White. Just wanted to say how great I think your real and true art is. Keep up the good work and all the very best of luck for 2009." (Kevin Jacobs)
