“When I’m sketching and painting, I am fully present in the moment. It is a deeply pleasurable and creative experience. It keeps me centered. Then later on, when I look at a painting I have completed, I remember  all the sounds, the temperature, the people who passed by and the entire plein air experience. This process has helped me to love Mexico even more – and it’s a process I’d like to share with you!”
