Every day I wake up and I really try to pinch myself to take advantage of today and to use that freedom of gesture to do what I really like to do.

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 want my work to be accessible to people.

It's wonderful to make a lot of money, to be able to take care of my family, to have the facilities I have and really support the people the studio's involved with. But at the end of the day I'm quite simple as an artist-it's really about the power of art.

Art to me is a humanitarian act and I believe that there is a responsibility that art should somehow be able to effect mankind, to make the word a better place.

My process of being inspired is very intuitive. Im constantly following my interest.

I think about my work every minute of the day.
