I'm in a complete state of panic before I begin something because I'm sure that it's going to be a complete disaster. I'm going to do a worse job than anybody could ever imagine anybody doing on the planet Earth.
The most inspiring objects are books. I have about 5,000 volumes in my home library. It's an unending source of visuals and ideas.

I like Thomas Jefferson, though he intimidated me. I thought he would have been very tough to be around. I don't know if he had such a sense of humor.
I live in a small world of gouache and brush and pen and ink. I'd like to explore the world of multiples - etching and prints.
I don't like plots. I don't know what a plot means. I can't stand the idea of anything that starts in the beginning - you know, 'beginning, middle and end.'
