About Me

It's not material things that bring me happiness. Perhaps that is why I work with food, growing things. I can't make a carrot and nor can you. It's natural. Without food there's no life. My respect and admiration for life has come from food, through food.



My Interests

I'd like to meet:

April 9th 1888
My brushstroke has no system at all. I hit the canvas with irregular touches of the brush which I leave as they are.Patches of thickly laid on color, spots of canvas left uncovered, here and there, portions that are left absolutely unfinished, repetitions, savageries; in short, I am inclined to think that the result is so disquieting and irritating as to be a god send to those people who have fixed, preconceived ideas about technique.
VW Van Gogh.
