I wanted to get it all down, maybe out of my system. I wanted to be able to say, Everything's possible-if you believe and can get excited.

To have all your life's work and to have them along the wall, it's like walking in with no clothes on. It's terrible.

I don't think that there is anything that is really magical unless it has a terrifying quality.

What you have to do is break all the rules.

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

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

With watercolour, you can pick up the atmosphere, the temperature, the sound of snow shifting through the trees or over the ice of a small pond or against a windowpane. Watercolour perfectly expresses the free side of my nature.
