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

I don't work with inspiration. Inspiration is for amateurs. I just get to work.

It doesn't upset artists to find out that artists used lenses or mirrors or other aids, but it certainly does upset the art historians.

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.

I can't always reach the image in my mind... almost never, in fact... so that the abstract image I create is not quite there, but it gets to the point where I can leave it.

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

I've always thought that problem-solving is highly overrated and that problem creation is far more interesting.
