An Artist Is Someone Who Makes Art...

Even An Abstract Form Has To Have A Likeness.

I See The Canvas And I Begin... It's A Necessary Evil To Get Into The Work, And It's Pretty Marvelous To Be Able To Get Out Of It.

If I Stretch My Arms And Wonder Where My Fingers Are - That Is All The Space I Need As A Painter.

I'm Not Interested In 'abstracting' Or Taking Things Out Or Reducing Painting To Design, Form, Line, And Color. I Paint This Way Because I Can Keep Putting More Things In It - Drama, Anger, Pain, Love, A Figure, A Horse, My Ideas About Space. Through Your Eyes It Again Becomes An Emotion Or Idea.

If You're An Artist, The Problem Is To Make A Picture Work Whether You Are Happy Or Not.
