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

I'm very interested in how colour and shape are perceived.

I have a voracious appetite for images I can translate.

As a painter, taking photos is a form of shorthand - note-taking.

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

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.

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