biblical paintings she uses

of the moment. “I am not
concentrating solely on the
story itself but mostly on the
spiritual response that the
story evokes in me”. Her more
recent works include realistic
portraits of great artists,
writers, poets, musicians. “I

based on whom I admire but
whom I can identify myself
with on certain levels. For me

personality, to dig as deep as
possible into their art and to
live and breathe who they are
in order to bring out the most
realistic expression and
reflection of their inner and

paint an earring I shouldn`t
