Statement:
"My life has always been packed with positive energy… take a look… the whole world celebrates my birthday! I love to belly laugh and to be surprised by life. My journey into the arts began when I was a child. Then as a teacher of young children and eventually as a teacher of teachers I found that visual arts, drama, music, dance and media arts are the heart and soul of learning. They are all active. They require direct involvement, focus and pure energy. I became a painter because I needed another way to express my passions…colour and texture grab me by the throat! I never know what’s next to appear on the empty canvas and this edginess suits me just fine.
I've always admired people who reach beyond their grasp. Passion and gutsiness are the hallmarks of innovation." Lynda Pogue
