Painting for process is the visual equivalent of journal writing, done not for the sake of being seen or published, but purely for the telling itself.

When we begin to lift the veils of censorship and repression in painting, a great deal of energy is unleashed.

The unfolding of the unexpected becomes the energy that drives you. You discover how thirsty you are for exploration without analysis. You become strangely at home in a place you can't define. You are truly creating.

To play is to listen to the imperative inner force that wants to take form and be acted out without reason.

What I want people to realize is that there is enough inside them, that everything that they really need in order to feel a sense of aliveness and creativity is already inside. And not only is it inside them, but if they allow it they will have an interesting life.

When a seed sprouts, it's a violent process. The skin breaks and splits in two. Something dies and something is born. Anytime you paint a strong or violent image, you may be expressing that part of yourself that's opening in order to let the new emerge.

There is this mysterious energy that wants us to keep growing.
