I do not see any real difference between painting and writing. It is a process. Something is formulated within me and demands to come out. The message itself has no desire about which form it will take. If I paint it or write depends on what state I am in at the time.

No one was as surprised as I was when I started to write. I had searched for a long time after my call in life and I was totally convinced that painting was my way of expressing myself.

Until one day. . .

It just came to me and exactly as when I started painting there was no way of stopping it. The channel was open and now it all had to come out.

Something that revealed itself after some time was that my message was unchanged. Several of my chapters in the book "Where are the Butterflies?" are named after my paintings. I understood that my message only had found a new way to come out and that I had a lot of work in front of me.

The writing allows me to grow as a person and to my great happiness many people like what I have to say.
