You Must Create Your Own World. I

In The First Grade, I Already Knew The Pattern Of My Life. I Didn't Know The Living Of It, But I Knew The Line… From The First Day In School Until The Day I Graduated, Everyone Gave Me One Hundred Plus In Art. Well, Where Do You Go In Life? You Go To The Place Where You Got One Hundred Plus.

I've Taught, And The First Thing I Did When I Taught Art, Was Not To Teach Art.

In My Studio I'm As Happy As A Cow In Her Stall. That's The Only Place Where Everything Is All Right.

A White Lace Curtain On The Window Was For Me As Important As A Great Work Of Art. This Gossamer Quality, The Reflection, The Form, The Movement. I Learned More About Art From That Than I Did In School.

I Think Most Artists Create Out Of Despair. The Very Nature Of Creation Is Not A Performing Glory On The Outside, It's A Painful, Difficult Search Within.
