“My life in Muncy inspires my work—our garden’s constant change—the wind scented with Kellogg’s cookies and August lilies. The birds that drop by for a quick song and a sunflower seed, the cats that amble in just to watch the butterflies before they return home. These little merry moments seem eternal as does my garden which is Bruce’s garden too. In many ways my paintings are painted sonnets to Bruce.”
