The spirit of a painting is very hard to explain and articulate. I can't say it's not intentional because that is the mark I'm trying to hit, however I don't feel I have much control over it.

Other people's songs can inspire me, though - I always have music on when I'm painting.

I like to listen to a lot of classical music when I'm painting, the most simplistic stuff I can find. I like simple piano.

I used to use a lot of words in the paintings but stopped because it created a narrative - or an answer to a question.

Sometimes I just want to sit and write at a clean table and not get paint all over my hands.

Painting is a solitary act for me; I don't need anyone around to make paintings.
