I am trying with all my skill to do a painting that is all woman, as well as all of me.

Objective painting is not good painting unless it is good in the abstract sense. A hill or tree cannot make a good painting just because it is a hill or tree. It is lines and colors put together so that they may say something.

I feel there is something unexplored about woman that only a woman can explore.

Filling a space in a beautiful way - that is what art means to me.

If you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it's your world for a moment.

Marks on paper are free - free speech - press - pictures all go together I suppose.

Where I was born and where and how I have lived is unimportant. It is what I have done with where I have been that should be of interest.
