During my youth, I was fascinated by the colors of Van Goth's paintings

Being born in New York City, tends to lead to big expectations, expectations that I only started to realize after I had left.

All the possessions in the world cannot fill an empty heart with love.

My favourite painting is often the one or the collection that I am currently working on. This is probably due to the fact that I don't yet know where it will take me.

I'm the type of person that likes to dream big, and I've often found that every great journey begins with a dream.

In 1995, when I was backpacking through Europe solo, I would head to the train station, look up at the big board, and decide right there and then where I would go that day.

While traveling, I've found that spontaneity keeps things fresh, while serendipity guides me through it all. There have been a lot of rough moments along the way, but they often bear the best memories.
