She says, \"I remember the special quiet of rainy days when I felt that I could enter the pages of my beautiful picture books. Now I try to recreate that feeling of believing that the imaginary place I'm drawing really exists. The detail in my work helps to convince me, and I hope others as well, that such places might be real.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a student at the Boston Museum School, she spent hours in the Museum of Fine Arts. \"It was overwhelming to see the room-size landscapes and towering stone sculptures, and then moments later to refocus on delicately embroidered kimonos and ancient porcelain,\" she says. \"I'm delighted and surprised when fragments of these beautiful images come back to me in my painting.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTravel is also a constant inspiration.
