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.

Every day I wake up and I really try to pinch myself to take advantage of today and to use that freedom of gesture to do what I really like to do.

I try to create work that doesn't make viewers feel they're being spoken down to, so they feel open participation.

I don't like being naïve about the market, and I always try to make things as great as I can. Then I hope that there's an audience that enjoys them, and that hopefully those things get protected.

I try to be a truthful artist and I try to show a level of courage. I enjoy that. I'm a messenger.
