Inspiration is for amateurs.

I love making art... It's largely how I see myself. I'm an artist; therefore I have to make art.

Any innovation that is evident in my paintings is a direct result of something that happened in the course of making a print.

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

I absolutely hate technology, and I'm computer illiterate, and I never use any labor-saving devices although I'm not convinced that a computer is a labor-saving device.

Inspiration is for amateurs - the rest of us just show up and get to work. And the belief that things will grow out of the activity itself and that you will - through work - bump into other possibilities and kick open other doors that you would never have dreamt of if you were just sitting around looking for a great "art idea."

While photography is the easiest medium in which to be competent, it is the hardest in which to develop an idiosyncratic personal vision.
