Artists are like everybody else.

Damien Hirst
Image
You've got to be oblivious to other people, the push and pull of other people's opinions, the way other people measure success. It's then that you realize you are 100 percent who you are and you have to use that who-you-are 100 percent in order to create great things.

I have titles floating around in my head I have sculptures floating around in my head. It's like a collage.

As an artist, you don't stop making art because people are not buying it.

I believe all painting and art should be uplifting for the viewer.
