More Important Than A Work Of Art

When I Stand Before A Canvas, I Never Know What I'll Do, And I Am The First One Surprised At What Comes Out.

Painting Or Poetry Is Made As One Makes Love - A Total Embrace, Prudence Thrown To The Winds, Nothing Held Back.

The Painting Rises From The Brushstrokes As A Poem Rises From The Words. The Meaning Comes Later.

I Think Of My Studio As A Vegetable Garden, Where Things Follow Their Natural Course. They Grow, They Ripen. You Have To Graft. You Have To Water.

Painting Must Be Fertile. It Must Give Birth To A World.. ..it Must Fertilize The Imagination.
