1. I paint flowers like nobody's business.

2. You never quite know what I might do next.

I was born into a family of artists, so I take creative craziness for granted. My great Uncle Mike and my grandfather both had what we called the Lanshaw Roar, as they could be rather volatile.

I used to roar myself when painting as I could not get the darn things to come to life without having a major temper tantrum in the middle of them. Without a temper tantrum, no worthwhile painting resulted.

That is a hard way to paint. Fortunately over the years I developed better ways to bypass my consciously interfering mind and rarely have a painting tantrum anymore. Now it is actually fun!

I love painting the light beyond the flowers. I never really think I am painting flowers, but rather that light which forms them.

My design sense is informed by many years experience designing jewelry in wide range of styles, creating stoneware and porcelain pottery, creating sculptures for both pewter and bronze, and assorted other creative adventures.

Doesn't that feel good?
