Inspiration

Q          From where do you get your inspiration?

A          I am inspired by the experience of all my senses and the understanding that I am not dead. Absurdities and things that makes me laugh are also triggers.

Q          What motivates you to create? Why do you need to paint? I would love to know what it is inside of you that screams to be expressed. What compels you to paint?

A          My first painting teacher, Joseph Wolins, described it as "that thing that rips the covers off in the morning." It's something like an uncontrollable urge that repeats itself and never goes away, like having to sneeze.
             When I'm making pictures I feel more myself than
at any other time. Simultaneously, I'm completely someplace else, far away. I like this feeling and try to repeat it as often
as possible.
