art work satisfaction
I have never expected anything from my work but the satisfaction I could get from it by the very fact of painting and saying what I couldn't say otherwise.

My painting carries with it the message of pain.

Surrealism is the magical surprise of finding a lion in a wardrobe, where you were 'sure' of finding shirts.

It's not possible to present an accurate picture of our culture without all the voices of the people in the culture. So at the emerging level, you can't have a good survey art show without women and artists of color.
art reality painting
I paint my own reality.

I paint flowers so they will not die.

I paint self-portraits because I am so often alone, because I am the person I know best.
