When I paint a picture of a house, that goes back to my roots.
The fact that few painter-fine-artists used photography in their work made it appealing.
I barely knew I wanted to be an artist. I liked my art classes and painting was fun, I guess, but I didn't realize that seeing the country was going to inspire me to further explore that... but that's what it did.
Good art should elicit a response of 'Huh? Wow!' as opposed to ‘Wow! Huh?'
I don't watch TV, so I feel like I'm left out of the American fabric or something.
I knew I wanted to be some kind of artist from about 12. I met a neighbour who drew cartoons, and I had an idea I wanted to be a cartoonist - or something that involved Indian ink, at any rate.
