“She portrayed the world simply as she
saw it and her vision had many unusualperspectives. Flowers were her favorite
subjects and she would sometimes paint
flowers very close-up or very far away, orsometimes she would only show us a part
of her subject on the canvas. She gave us
this new perspective because she wanted
to make us look at the beauty of flowers
in a new way.”
