She is the most inspiring person, the most creative artist, and the most nurturing mother.\u00a0 She inspired me to paint my first oil painting when I was 9. It had a vase, grapes and flowers. I still can picture it today with a pink lacquered frame.<\/p>\n<p><strong>AC:\u00a0 Why do you paint the scenes you do?<\/strong><br \/>\nJD: As a child I was and still am a daydreamer and flowers and all things beautiful make me dream. There are so many different ways to paint a still life and as I&#8217;ve gotten older my visions for a still life painting have changed and evolved. I find it challenging and exciting to recreate what I have been painting for the last 30years.<\/p>\n<p><strong>AC: What music do you listen to while painting?<\/strong><br \/>\nJD: In the studio is a cd of mixed <a href=\"http:\/\/www.italianoperafoundation.com.au\/\" target=\"_blank\">Italian Opera<\/a> which I have been listening to for the past 5 years. I love it. It&#8217;s uplifting and gets me in the mood before I even pick up a brush.<\/p>\n<p><strong>AC: Tell our readers something about yourself that may surprise them?<\/strong><br \/>\nJD: I am a proud soccer mum, spending all my Saturdays on a soccer field with my two amazing boys.<\/p>\n<p><strong>AC: What is your favourite thing about Spring?<\/strong><br \/>\nJD: Everything. You can already feel the change in the air. That sense of freshness, rebirth and colour all around.
