‘I had made a bunch of paintings of my potted cactus collection and craved more, so I took myself to Tucson Arizona to paint cactus in their natural environment. Being still so long making a painting meant I saw plenty of wildlife including a bob cat, a rattlesnake, coyote, javelina, road runner and a hummingbird that hovered for ages as it was attracted to my paint palette.’
