I want to be with those who know secret things or else alone.

If my devils are to leave me, I'm afraid my angels will take flight as well.

It is good to say it aloud: 'Nothing has happened.' Once again: 'Nothing has happened.' Does that help?"

My art is representational by choice....if the art of painting is to survive, it must describe and express people, their lives and times. It must communicate.

You must give birth to your images. They are the future waiting to be born. Fear not the strangeness you feel. The future must enter you long before it happens. Just wait for the birth, for the the hour of the new clarity.

It is possible I am pushing through solid rock, like the vein of ore encased, alone. I am such a long way in I can see no way through and no space. Everything is close to my face and everything close to my face is stone. I don't have much knowledge yet in grief, so this darkness makes me feel small. You, be the Master; Make yourself fierce; break in. And then your great transforming will happen to me And my great grief cry will happen to you.

The deepest experience of the creator is feminine, for it is experience of receiving and bearing.
