I have your first two books and find them to be very inspiring. i love the boldness of your color and compositions and feel "pushed" to be more inventive in my own work.

I'm from Montreal, Québec, Canada. I've been looking at your books every week for many years. I was an elementary school art teacher. I love the watercolor medium but I always found that the artists' approaches were too conservative. However, looking at your books helps me relate to this practice in a way that I like and it always gives me the will to continue. Thank you for writing these beautiful books! Dear Ms Trevena,
