I have a voracious appetite for images I can translate.

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

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

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.

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 paint bridges because they're in transition; you're coming or going, you're not anywhere - full of possibility.
