First I have tried to achieve the highest quality of technical facility possible so that I have at my fingertips the availability to create anything I want. Then I paint.
What makes for great art is the courage to speak and write and paint what you know and care about.
If you can’t paint, paint Big.
Visualize what you want to do before you do it. Visualization is so powerful that when you know what you want, you will get it.
I believe in the energy of art, and through the use of that energy, the artist’s ability to transform his or her life, and by example, the lives of others.
Art is a protest against death.
It is terrifying to think of what a commodity art has become.
