| "NO. I can make a living doing what I love, painting. I don't have time enough to paint all the ideas I have or time enough to play with all the amazing color combinations." |

If you sell everything you make, why not have employees and make more money? |

| Where do you get your ideas?? |
| "I look around my house, my yard, my life and something catches my eye. Ideas are like pebbles on the beach. Some just call out to be picked up and handled. |
| "I like doing my own work, in my own way, in my lovely, organized, QUIET, studio. I don't enjoy managing other people or trying to market more work to pay employees. Simple and quiet works for me." |
| Do you have other income? |
| "No." "Please buy something." |
| Do you teach? Will you give me lessons? |
Dunes National Lakeshore abutting your property. You make a living with your art, you are still married (happily) to your high school sweetheart... |

way do something "fun" everyday, but mostly we are in the studio doing art. It is our life. Inspiration hits me all the time, all day long. I need to sleep at night. I have usually earned it. And, no, I do not have practical dreams where Paintings paint themselves while I sleep." |
paint???? " If you mean do I use chiaroscuro, light and shadow, for a photographic effect, it doesn't interest me much. I like strong graphic line and flat blocks of color, and lots and lots of pattern, and painting with glaze IS painting. |
