Source of inspiration. The MAK is a museum that has had a profound effect on me as an artist and art viewer.

I got into animals by drawing hair follicles. I liked drawing hair, and from that I got into feathers and fur, then into images of animals. The patterning is the same, but the proportions of the body change from one animal to the next. A lot of it is just geometry and consciousness.

It’s one of my loose theories that Catholicism and art have gone well together because both believe in the physical manifestation of the spiritual world.

I had stopped making figures, and then I began making images of animals in nature, which was a way to introduce the figure.

When you get older, you're running out of time. You care more about trying to stay on the planet a little longer, so you can learn how to draw better!

I think that objects have memories. I’m always thinking that I’ll go to the museum and see something and have a big memory about some other lifetime.

Sometimes your personal life is much more significant. Sometimes your work life is more significant. Friends and family, or sometimes the general population, take precedence.
