�Her paintings are expressions of ideas that evolved from her experiences. They are brightly colored and often a juxtaposition of several "realities"; the real and the fantastic are combined into one image.
In recent years she has used photo transfers to further enhance the "unreal" reality portrayed.
The houses she paints are symbolic portraits and in a multiplicity of environments. The content, atmosphere and imagery may be altered by the landscape and terrain selected for each painting; each is chosen with the purpose of conveying the mood intended..

"If she had nothing more than her voice she could break your heart with it. But
she has that beautiful body and the timeless lovliness of her face.
It makes no difference how she breaks your heart if she is there to mend it."� - Ernest Hemingway

Blue Velvet the movie

"It's a strange world ..isn't it"

I've nothing much to offer
There's nothing much to take
I'm an absolute beginner
And I'm absolutely sane
As long as we're together
The rest can go to hell
I absolutely love you
But we're absolute beginners
With eyes completely open
But nervous all the same

If our love song
Could fly over mountains
Could laugh at the ocean
Just like the films
There's no reason
To feel all the hard times
To lay down the hard lines
It's absolutely true

Nothing much could happen
Nothing we can't shake
Oh we're absolute beginners
With nothing much at stake
As long as you're still smiling
There's nothing more I need
I absolutely love you
But we're absolute beginners
But if my love is your love
We're certain to succeed

If our love song
Could fly over mountains
Could laugh at the ocean
Just like the films

There's no reason
To feel all the hard times
To lay down the hard lines
It's absolutely true..

Andr� Derain (1880-1954)

Derain was one of the founding fathers of fauvism, and one of its wildest practitioners. Influenced by van Gogh and working with Valminck in 1904 he felt that the impressionists had disintegrated their work into dots excessively. Instead, he chose to use wide, choppy brush strokes of pure color. In 1905, he worked with Matisse to bring the technique to maturity.

"Meteora- Greece"

Meteora (= "levitating") is an area in Thessaly (Central Greece) and Kalampaka is the city under
the rock towers of Meteora. The thing that makes Meteora so special is
the monasteries on the top of the rock towers.

The Antikythera Mechanism

Among the treasures of the Greek National Archaeological Museum in Athens
are the remains of the most complex scientific object that has been
preserved from antiquity. Corroded and crumbling from 2,000 years under
the sea, its dials, gear wheels and inscribed plates present the
historian with a tantalizing problem. Because of them we may have to
revise many of our estimates of Greek science. By studying them we may find
vital clues to the true origins of that high scientific technology which
hitherto has seemed peculiar to our modern civilization, setting it apart
from all cultures of the past

The oldest known computer, the Antikythera Mechanism - Athens museum, Greece

Driven by a storm from their usual area of work, a crew of Greek
sponge divers found themselves off the Aegean island of
Antikythera.
There, in 200 feet of water, they discovered the remains of a
shipwreck from classical times. This ship, it was later surmised,
was a Roman galley laden with Greek statues and other treasure:
booty being taken back to the imperial capitol. Among the relics
brought up from this shipwreck and taken to the Greek National
Archeological Museum was a coral encrusted bronze mechanism.
Dated at 80 BC or earlier, it was not clear initially what the
device was, except that it was clearly a sophisticated mechanism.
X-ray analysis was subsequently used to probe the inner structure of
the device, the details of the gears.
Finally in 1974, a full analysis was published by Professor D. De
Solla Price. While some of the original gearing was missing, there
was enough to work out that the device was intended to show the
motion of the Moon, Sun, and most likely the Planets through the
years, when the handle was turned...
