Abstraction And Luxury Are The Guard Dogs

The First Thing That Any Good Artist Has To Develop Is A Sense Of Independence From The Artworld. What Really Destroys A Young Artist Is Insecurity, The Fear That Everything Could Be Taken Away At Any Moment.

The Entertainment Industry, The Advertising Industry Have Taken [the] Tools From The Art World And Made Themselves Much More Politically Potent. We Are Really Devastated And Very Impotent Right Now. A Photographer Just Working For An Advertising Company Has A Platform To Be Much More Politically Effective In The World Than An Artist.

My Work Is A Support System For People To Feel Good About Themselves.

Art Is About Profundity. It's About Connecting To Everything That It Means To Be Alive, But You Have To Act.

I Use Printers To Make Prints Of The Images That I Am Creating. And I Try To Have That Surface Kind Of Replicated In The Painting.
