I believe in advertisement and media completely. My art and my personal life are based in it. I think that the art world would probably be a tremendous reservoir for everybody involved in advertising.

Whenever you finish an artwork and the viewer comes and views it, at that moment you've given up control.

I like to look at everything and appreciate seeing the different things that have meaning to people.

I use printers to make prints of the images that I am creating. And I try to have that surface kind of replicated in the painting.

I learned a lot about the images of pornography and how much they dealt with close-up, when a person is at their most vulnerable and having to reveal details about themselves. I wanted to combine the eternal in two different manners. There is the biological eternal - here is our species reproducing - and then the transparent, spiritual aspect of it.

I enjoy all mediums, and I have to say, music is the medium that first made me understand how powerful art could be.

Even before I had children I wanted the intensity of my life to get greater. I wanted to feel things more strongly. I wanted my intellectual parameters to expand. But it comes back to your own desire to be engaged and to live up to your parameters.
