As an artist, I've always wanted to participate in the dialogue of art with other artists.

For me, art really starts with acceptance, self trust. Wherever you come to with art, its perfect. You dont have to come with anything. What you bring to something is the art. Thats where its found. Its found within you.

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

My favorite activity is to be with my family.

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.

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

The job of the artist is to make a gesture and really show people what their potential is. It's not about the object, and it's not about the image; it's about the viewer. That's where the art happens.
