"The focus of my work is the backyard garden. My work is about a place that's close to my heart, a place that inspires me, that energizes me and gives me pleasure.

All of us have places that we care about, and if my work connects or reconnects people to the places that appeal to them, then my work has made a difference."

"Imagination is the real eternal world of which this vegetable universe is but a faint shadow."
