My work is an exploration of the self. I've always been concerned with how I'm living and how that reflects in the painting.

My work is an exploration of the self. I've always been concerned with how I'm living and how that reflects in the painting.

The walls around us bear witness to lives past and present.

If I'm going through something, I paint through it. It's very physical. I'm writing, I'm thinking, I'm meditating, I'm moving, I'm jumping off ladders, and it's therapeutic.

I have too much energy, even for myself. I'm lucky to have something that focuses me.

People have thought that some of my writing and lines are done by a machine. I'm able to move in a way that's part gestural dance performance, and it's fun for me, so I incorporate that into the painting.

Sometimes I'm not so sure how healthy it is because it's exhausting to put all your emotion into your work, but I guess I should be thankful for that. I don't want the work to be about anything else but the truth and honesty.
