I always thought that one of the reasons why a painter likes especially to have other painters look at his or her work is the shared experience of having pushed paint around.

I only have so much time and energy and money, and I'm going to put it into my work.

All the fingerprint paintings are done without a grid.

I'm very learning-disabled, and I think it drove me to what I'm doing.

Inspiration is for amateurs.

Art saved my life in two ways. It made me feel special, because I could do things my friends couldn't, but it also gave me a way to demonstrate to my teacher that, despite the fact that I couldn't write a paper or do math, I was paying attention.

In my art, I deconstruct and then I reconstruct, so visual perception is one of my primary interests.
