I think a person permeates a spot, and a lost presence makes the environment timeless to me, keeps an area alive. It pulsates because of that.

I do an awful lot of thinking and dreaming about things in the past and the future - the timelessness of the rocks and the hills - all the people who have existed there.

I think one's art goes as far and as deep as one's love goes.

I love to study the many things that grow below the corn stalks and bring them back to the studio to study the color. If one could only catch that true color of nature - the very thought of it drives me mad.

My aim is to escape from the medium with which I work.

If you clean it up, get analytical, all the subtle joy and emotion you felt in the first place goes flying out the window.

Artists today think of everything they do as a work of art. It is important to forget about what you are doing - then a work of art may happen.
