“I think it's so important to run with those feelings, particularly as an artist. I remember a day a couple of winters ago, it snowed, and I just said to my husband, 'I'm gonna go painting,' and I just grabbed my easel, put my snow boots on, and my coat and walked out the door and just ran with that moment.”
