I play music, I paint - these things come from your depths.

But, you know, I'd be happy just making music.

If someone who knows what's going on comes up and says they liked the music, I appreciate that.

It seems like there are always gatekeepers. People between you and the people who are moved by your work. They often make a beautiful thing creepy.

The paintings usually start as abstracts and then I look at them and look at them, and like a Rorschach test, I try and see what it is.

The loss of music is very painful, and I don't revisit stuff unless there is a solid reason to do it.

I start out making my paintings for me. I don't see it as a form of communication. Until, of course, after they are done and I want people to see them. And want them to be recognized. But while I am making them I just try to get lost in them. Kind of like it's a prayer.
