"I go through the full range of emotion with each piece - struggle, denial, elation, disappointment, self doubt etc,.…. and all of that is concentrated into the length of time it takes to create something new and original, something that wasn’t there before. Sometimes, if I feel low on energy, I remember all the power it took to produce a successful painting, and that feeds me back when I need it.”
