Sculpture occupies real space like we do... you walk around it and relate to it almost as another person or another object.

Far more interesting than problem solving is problem creation.

You know, the way art history is taught, often there's nothing that tells you why the painting is great. The description of a lousy painting and the description of a great painting will very much sound the same.

I wanted to translate from one flat surface to another.In fact, my learning disabilities controlled a lot of things. I don't recognize faces, so I'm sure it's what drove me to portraits in the first place.

I think most paintings are a record of the decisions that the artist made. I just perhaps make them a little clearer than some people have.

Never let anyone define what you are capable of by using parameters that don’t apply to you.

I did some pastels and I did other pieces in which there was just basically one color per square, and then they would get bigger and I could get 2 or 3 colors into the square, and ultimately I just started making oil paintings.
