"After fifty years of making and selling art, and since 1968 supporting myself wholly by my creative efforts, I never stop searching for my own personal style."
"I've been influenced by many other artists from many different cultures, from the earliest cave painters to my living contemporaries."
"I seem compelled to write about my art, and even am inclined to consider such writing as a kind of art in itself."
"The development of my own powers of expression is a living experience, and it will be the theme of the writing found on this web site. In some respects my art is about the making of an artist."
