An artist who works in oil, pastel and dye on silk, Ms. Erlin loves flowers and birds as subjects. She uses clear, bright colors, and, because her favorite season is spring, most of her landscapes reflect that season.

Thoughts:

Women are all like flowers to me. Some are still in the "bud" form, and, as they age, their beauty takes new forms. Then, in the last stages of life, they become mature flowers.
