What would I do without the absurd and the ephemeral?

To feel the anguish of waiting for the next moment and of taking part in the complex current (of affairs) not knowing that we are headed toward ourselves, through millions of stone beings - of bird beings - of star beings - of microbe beings - of fountain beings toward ourselves.

It's not possible to present an accurate picture of our culture without all the voices of the people in the culture. So at the emerging level, you can't have a good survey art show without women and artists of color.

I paint self-portraits because I am so often alone, because I am the person I know best.

I hope the exit is joyful and i hope never to return.

Really, I do not know whether my paintings are surrealist or not, but I do know that they are the frankest expression of myself.

I never paint dreams or nightmares. I paint my own reality.
