Catalogue Note
"Je suis très influencée par ce que je vois dehors, la lumière, les champs... Dans tous mes tableaux, il y a les arbres, l'eau, les herbes, les fleurs, les tournesols, etc., mais pas directement: l'eau, par exemple, c'est la Seine, c'est le lac Michigan aussi... c'est plutôt le sentiment que j'ai pour ces choses. Quand je commence parfois je veux faire une couleur ou une forme... ou plutôt quelque chose comme le sentiment d'un tournesol qui meurt par exemple. Il faut sentir quelque chose, on ne peut pas expliquer: cela se voit ou ne se voit pas. C'est cela mon "sentiment" du paysage: en anglais c'est "feeling", en français, sentiment a à voir avec sentimental. Pour moi c'est plutôt ressentir, éprouver..."
