Art is the most important way of recording history.

I want art to affect the viewer and for the viewer to take it away to enhance, embrace, and elevate life. That's the spiritual aspect. Painting is a spiritual practice, but sometimes it is hard to give up control!

Painting is an object, but it's also a voice. I don't see them as objects; I see them as voices.

To handle paint the way Pollock did, you need the muscularity of a ballet dancer.

Every piece of art will be if it's lucky enough to be dug up, if there's anything to dig up.

I have my moods, but I can always see something beautiful.

I consider my work non-objective and I think abstract is an abstraction of something, like a landscape. Abstraction means something is abstracted. It relates to something. Non-objective relates to nothing. It has no object.
