And if you haven't yet read her latest book, "Becoming," do yourself a favor and get hold of a copy. Who this wonderful woman is shines through brightly and clearly.

You've posted some beautiful work here, but I think this one is my favorite yet.
Makes me want to get disciplined about value studies, too.

I’m always driven to push my comfort zone and to experiment. That’s what keeps me interested. If I fail it’s no big deal because in art failure always teaches you something, but when I succeed in my experiments I never regret pushing it.
