art connection enjoyed honest pop surrealism themselves
I've always enjoyed feeling a connection to the avant-garde, such as Dada and surrealism and pop art. The only thing the artist can do is be honest with themselves and make the art they want to make. That's what I've always done.

I am very conscious of the viewer because that's where the art takes place. My work really strives to put the viewer in a certain kind of emotional state.

When I view the world, I don't think of my own work. I think of my hope that, through art, people can get a sense of the type of invisible fabric that holds us all together, that holds the world together.

I was always an artist. I was a broker to earn a living, but I was always thinking about my art.

Art is about profundity. It's about connecting to everything that it means to be alive, but you have to act.
