I have trouble listening to people tell me about their dreams.

Life is simple unless we find a way to make it complicated.

If what you are doing is working, DON'T change just to be different. Just get better.

Like it or not, people tend to buy paintings to match their drapes, couch or carpet. I know you want them to be so overwhelmed with your skills they can't resist hauling your art home. These three factors are what dictate most art sales.

Saying you love something out loud with the wrong intonation in your face can damn you and destroy what you're working on.

The secret is planning your work and working your plan. If you don't know where you are going, how will you know when you arrive? You can't stumble upon your destination.

When you put something out there into the world, there's all these words you don't want to hear, that you hope people don't say. I don't like anything that starts with 're' - like retro, reinvent, recreate - I hate that. It's always like living in the past - copying, emulating.
