I always had an interest in the environment... to protect our planet... for the ocean to go on.

My painting Two Worlds actually changed the way people see the world.

When I was doing just the underwater, I don't think people could relate to it at first. Then I added the land, which was a painting called, Two Worlds. For some reason that particular painting gave people something to hold onto.

A lot of my work just sort of flows and comes out of me and I don't know why or where.

Picasso has been my inspiration, expressing himself in a hundred different ways.

Cubism is fascinating to me. I love trying to figure it out. It's just a different way of seeing... I think there are many avenues that haven't been explored yet.

I strive to make the next painting better than the last one. That's why the most exciting thing to me is the next one.
