All my work begins with drawings.

I don't labor over my drawings. I want to get freedom in the line.

Shading is more like copying. And certainly I do copy, but I'm making drawings, and I'm not trying to make them with the shading.

I like to be able to get swift curves in the plant drawings that are usually drawn in five to ten minutes.

All my work comes from perceiving. I kept seeing things that were brooding in me. I'm not a geometric artist.

I'm interested in the space between the viewer and the surface of the painting - the forms and the way they work in their surroundings. I'm interested in how they react to a room.
