"I love drawing and making objects. I have been able to do this all my life and it has been a fulfilling journey and I feel extremely fortunate to be able to live my life as a child, playing with shapes, forms, materials and colors.

I have no goal of becoming an art personality or making objects for gallery shows. My reward is to be able to convert the inner ephemeral floating images in my head into concrete solid objects or drawings that last forever!"

Anna Thornhill, March 2000
