It's a moment that I'm after, a fleeting moment, but not a frozen moment.

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

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.

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.

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.

If it [talent] isn’t strong enough to take the gaff of real training, then it’s not worth much.
