Alain Prost at Monaco

I first became interested in Formula One when my husband took me to the Monaco Grand Prix in 1982—the race in which there were several lead changes in the last laps and Ricardo Patrese was surprised to learn he had won when he crossed the finish line! We have since attended well over a dozen F1 Grand Prix races at Brands Hatch, Paul Ricard, Monza, Spa Francorchamps, Imola, Estoril, Jerez and Magny-Cours. As an artist, however, there is no other race on the calendar which produces the incredible backdrop and atmosphere of Monaco to which we have since returned several times.
