My forms are geometric, but they don't interact in a geometric sense. They're just forms that exist everywhere, even if you don't see them.

I did not want windows, only skylights. I chose my painting wall as it has the best morning light.

All my work begins with drawings. I don’t labor over my drawings. I want to get freedom in the line. I like to be able to get swift curves in the plant drawings that are usually drawn in five to ten minutes.

My drawings have to be quick. If they don't happen in 20 minutes or a half hour, then they're no good.

Photography isolates the world via an aperture and gives the photographer the means to see differently, to achieve a spontaneous vision that is direct and uncompromising.

I felt that everything is beautiful, but that which man tries intentionally to make beautiful; that the work of an ordinary bricklayer is more valid than the artwork of all but a very few artists.

Shape and color are my two strong things. And by doing this, drawing plants has always led me into my paintings and my sculptures.
