Quotes
-
I always drew as a child, but oddly enough never thought of it as a profession, or what you did when you grew up... Out of all my creative work, illustrating children's books gives me the greatest satisfaction. It is my 'fine art'. It keeps me going aesthetically. The books have a permanence and a quality of something meaningful.
