It can be frightening to spend 5 weeks alone in a cabin in the wilderness. I was able to collect my thoughts and worked a lot - because I couldn't do anything else.

I wish I felt energetic and could paint all the time, because there are so many paintings I'd like to do.

There's an assumption that because I'm an artist, I've got all the time in the world.

Going on the ship felt like 100 years or one day. Timeless. Beautiful vertigo. It will continue to show up in my work.

When I start doing a body of work I feel vulnerable, fearful. If I stopped trusting the process, I would stop doing art.

For the surface, I'm not interested in painterly convention. It's more interesting if it looks like it painted itself.
