Some Excerpts

I've always loved drawing, since childhood, it was always important to me. I didn't draw much until Beauty and the Beast entered my life. I did not go to an art school like you did Gwen, but I did attend a couple of drawing and painting courses, but it was pretty boring really. So I changed courses, dropping landscapes for nude and portrait, this I loved very much. But only when I saw Vincent and Catherine that it sparked off in me a need to draw them, it was like an inner voice telling me. I listened and the joy and fulfilment it gives me, I never thought possible

Sadly I haven't and I've never attended a British or USA convention, just the German ones. Rosemarie and I meet up once a year, to share the love we feel for Beauty and the Beast since 1989. It is a deep love we share for this special show.
