Quote

I didn't want to be like everybody else. Art was my religion.

I'm not interested in forcing my beliefs on my readers.

All art stems from a place of alienation. Intimate and alone. Most people are oppressed by the opinion of others, but I was not that way. I was afraid of the repercussions of not doing what I was told to do, what I was called to do by a creator.

You do manage a somewhat religious attitude toward your art. It is a calling rather than a job.

I don't believe in creating exclusionary art.

Painting is a faith, and it imposes the duty to disregard public opinion.

I didn't have any interest in traditional art.
