"In her paintings, she is herself - the same mind and heart that guide her into life are also instilled in her art. She is not concerned with short-lived fashionable trends in art nor is she fanatically enslaved to art principles of the past.
She looks into the world around her, inhales the elusive and revels in the changing."
- Prof. Kiril Bozhkov PhD of Fine Arts, Bulgaria

You are an excellent instructor as you taught me more than just painting. The paper that summarizes your workshop philosophy /concepts /and ideas is great. I especially like Don't Correct-Just Connect! Thank you also for that.
