"I can no longer hide behind a traditionally rendered painting and think of it as the end-all. Art is much broader than that. What I’m not really clear about with this new body of work is what form it will take and where it will go. I’m still working through what it will look like. There’s always this sense of harmonious connection that I’m trying to explore and achieve. It’s harder now dealing with deadlines—this work is so personal; I can’t put constraints on it. It isn’t done until my mind, heart and soul releases it."
