From adventure to adventure, I will never forget the landscapes of the Yonne, in the northern-most part of Burgundy. I have painted Paris, the ocean off of California, flowers in the Rockies. But in my memory has remained forever the lights and colors of Burgundy, and particularly of the vineyards and the cherry orchards over which I let my eyes wonder for so many years. The land in northern Burgundy adopted me, so I wanted to pay hommage to it. These are my roots. I will return there forever.
