Losing My Father At A Tender Age

Inspiration Is For Amateurs - The Rest Of Us Just Show Up And Get To Work. And The Belief That Things Will Grow Out Of The Activity Itself And That You Will - Through Work - Bump Into Other Possibilities And Kick Open Other Doors That You Would Never Have Dreamt Of If You Were Just Sitting Around Looking For A Great "art Idea."

Painting Is The Most Magical Of Mediums. The Transcendence Is Truly Amazing To Me Every Time I Go To A Museum And I See How Somebody Figured Another Way To Rub Colored Dirt On A Flat Surface And Make Space Where There Is No Space Or Make You Think Of A Life Experience.

Any Innovation That Is Evident In My Paintings Is A Direct Result Of Something That Happened In The Course Of Making A Print.

Inspiration Is Highly Overrated. If You Sit Around And Wait For The Clouds To Part, It's Not Liable To Ever Happen. More Often Than Not, Work Is Salvation.

All The Best Ideas Come Out Of The Process; They Come Out Of The Work Itself. Things Occur To You.if You're Sitting Around Trying To Dream Up A Great Idea, You Can Sit There A Long Time Before Anything Happens.but If You Just Get To Work, Something Will Occur To You And Something Else Will Occur To You And Something Else That You Reject Will Push You In Another Direction.
