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

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

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.

Geometry is moribund. I want a lilt and joy to art.

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.

I believe people have to be open to what's happening when they're alive.

The most pleasurable thing in the world, for me, is to see something and then translate how I see it.
