The abstraction is often the most definite form for the intangible thing in myself that I can clarify in paint.

Singing has always seemed to me the most perfect means of expression.

When I found the beautiful white bones in the desert I picked them up and took them home too...I have used these things to say what is to me the wideness and wonder of the world as I live in it.

I have lived on a razors edge. So what if you fall off. I'd rather be doing something I wanted to do. I'd walk it again.

It seems to be my mission in life to wait on a dog.

I've been absolutely terrified every moment of my life - and I've never let it keep me from doing a single thing I wanted to do.

I know I can not paint a flower, I can not paint the sun on the desert on a bright summer morning but maybe in terms of paint colour I can convey to you my experience of the flower or the experience that makes the flower of significance to me at that particular time.
