Art Helped Give Me Confidence.

Even Before I Had Children I Wanted The Intensity Of My Life To Get Greater. I Wanted To Feel Things More Strongly. I Wanted My Intellectual Parameters To Expand. But It Comes Back To Your Own Desire To Be Engaged And To Live Up To Your Parameters.

As An Artist, I've Always Wanted To Participate In The Dialogue Of Art With Other Artists.

I'm Always Working. If I'm Not In My Studio I Become Quite Nervous.

The Job Of The Artist Is To Make A Gesture And Really Show People What Their Potential Is. It's Not About The Object, And It's Not About The Image; It's About The Viewer. That's Where The Art Happens.

If I Try To Articulate Every Little Detail In A Drawing, It Would Be Like Missing The Forest For The Trees, So It's Just About Getting The Outline Of The Forest.
