Work is my joy... Work is my therapy, I don't know anybody who loves work as much as I do.

I usually work in a direction until I know how to do it, then I stop, At the time that I am bored or understand - I use those words interchangeably - another appetite has formed.

I still have a struggle reading (dyslexia, fh) and so I don't read much.. ..Probably the only reason I'm painter is because I couldn't read yet I love to write, but when I write I know what I'm writing, but when I'm reading I can't see it, because it goes from all sides of the page at once. But that's very good for printmaking.

I wouldn't use the same color in a picture in more than one place

I don't think any one person, whether artist or not, has been given permission by anyone to put the responsibility of the way things are on anyone else

You can't make either life or art, you have to work in the hole in between, which is undefined. That's what makes the adventure of painting.

I think a painting is more like the real world if it's made out the real world.
