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 dream a lot. I do more painting when I'm not painting. It's in the subconscious.

I'm not at all interested in painting the object just as it is in nature. Certainly I'm much more interested in the mood of a thing than the truth of a thing.

At 18 I began painting steadily fulltime and at age 20 had my first New York show at the Macbeth Gallery.

It's all in how you arrange the thing... the careful balance of the design is the motion.

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 think one's art goes as far and as deep as one's love goes. I see no reason for painting but that. If I have anything to offer, it is my emotional contact with the place where I live and the people I do.
