If people would just look at the paintings, I don't think they would have any trouble enjoying them. It's like looking at a bed of flowers, you don't tear your hair out over what it means.

I continue to get further away from the usual painter's tools such as easel, palette, brushes, etc. I prefer sticks, trowels, knives and dripping fluid paint or a heavy impasto with sand, broken glass or other foreign matter added.

I don't use the accident - 'cause I deny the accident

Today painters do not have to go to a subject matter outside of themselves. Most modern painters work from a different source. They work from within.

A method of painting is a natural growth out of a need. I want to express my feelings rather than illustrate them. Technique is just a means of arriving at a statement.

My concern is with the rhythms of nature I work inside out, like nature.

I hardly ever stretch the canvas before painting.
