You're not just this person who's from your own specific experiences, but the collective experience of what makes you who you are because of time.

I always wanted to be an artist, but I didn't really know how someone could make a life out it.

When you're not a mom, you can get up in the middle of the night, paint, sleep all morning... you can't do that when you have two children!

I'm really interested in the nondefinitive element of abstraction.

That's what I'm interested in: the space in between, the moment of imagining what is possible and yet not knowing what that is.

The investigation of making is illuminating towards that moment rather than the other way around, a reversal of the way that I would approach making a painting before. I think that it gets to a richer illumination of the moment, which is what I was trying to do at the beginning but going about it a little backwards.

I don't ever work in a way where something is an illustration of an event, but when something is occurring at the same time I see it as very informed by that.
