"I have been associated with flowers for as long as I can remember, and from childhood have always owned a garden. This love of flowers has, to a large extent, dominated my life. I owned a nursery, and am still involved in the flower arranging movement as an international judge, demonstrator and teacher. But, despite all this, I have painted relatively few flower pieces, one reason being that I have not wanted to be regarded only as a flower painter. Bonnard once said that he would rather keep flowers in a separate room from his studio, while he was painting them, so that they would not become overbearing. He would let the flowers wilt and then start painting. It is the sheer beauty of flowers that has always intimidated me. But since my stay at the Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris last year (1991), I have plucked up the courage to overcome my inhibitions and explore the genre. These are the first steps in that process." D Bozas 1992
