The Blogger's Wife

How are you feeling right now?
Responsible.
Is there anything I can get you?
The children to bed.
OK, when was your first impulse to draw?
Probably when I was around four: it stopped my tantrums.
What to you is the purpose of art?
For me it's a way of helping to understand the world we live in.
What is your advice to other artists?
I wouldn't contemplate giving advice, art's something terribly personal.
What is your idea of summer?
An idealised view of my own childhood, such as closed curtains in the bedroom when it's still light outside.
How important is criticism?
I hate it.
What do you hope to bring to others through your art?
A celebration of the gentleness in life.
Can art make a difference?
Of course.
