The light in the North is constantly a thrill for me.

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

I have a voracious appetite for images I can translate.

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.

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