Paintings Can Make You Cry

It's Always A Pleasure To Talk About Someone Else's Work.

The First Thing I Do Is Take Polaroids Of The Sitter - 10 Or 12 Color Polaroids And Eight Or 10 Black-and Whites.

In The 7th Grade, I Made A 20-foot Long Mural Of The Lewis And Clark Trail While We Were Studying That In History Because I Knew I Wasn't Going To Be Able To Spit Back The Names And The Dates And All That Stuff On A Test.

A Face Is A Road Map Of Someone's Life. Without Any Need To Amplify That Or Draw Attention To It, There's A Great Deal That's Communicated About Who This Person Is And What Their Life Experiences Have Been.

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.
