I'm a big fan of Kate Moss's style - no-one nails boho meets hippy chic like she does.

I'm quite obsessed with the idea of nailing the girl friendship. It's such an art, so delicate.

I don't know, but I always loved that image of a girl putting toenail polish on a guy - her boyfriend, or something like that. Or a guy waking up in the morning and reaching over and putting on his girlfriend's shirt. Like Keith Richards putting on one of Anita Pallenberg's blouses, or Courtney Love putting nail polish on Kurt Cobain.

At first I was a little leery to just post photos of my little girl all the time and kind of exploit her to the world.

Photo shoots for underage girls are like letting an ant walk around with honey.

I probably had some impact, because everyone keeps telling me that I did. I like to feel like I'm coming out with something to try to make room for other young women to make their art.

Painting self-portraits without clothes on has also given me some publicity.

If someone's got good, clean skin, with not too much make-up on, and good, clean hair that's bouncy, and the nails are clean and not overly done, then you can put anything on her and she's going to look good.

I like to paint nudes mostly.
