I really wasn't about to get a Ph.D. in art history, you know, which you'd absolutely needed. And that was not something I wanted. And I loved art history, but not that way.

I always took photographs. I photographed a lot of trees, by the way, which is another image I used often in my work, the tree image.

Image
I am very easy. I like to have my work out. I am not restrictive about any of that. It is the collectors that are possessive, not me, not me.

I wanted my style to be very recognizable.

I am a very lucky artist in the sense that I have had all my life a lot of opportunities to do what I want to do.
