Most artists look for something fresh to paint; frankly I find that quite boring. For me it is much more exciting to find fresh meaning in something familiar.

My struggle is to preserve that abstract flash - like something you caught out of the corner of your eye, but in the picture you can look at it directly.

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

I think you have to use your eyes as well as your emotion, and one without the other just doesn't work

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.

I am not a juicy painter.

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.
