"Hedonistic and naturalist impulses guide me. Gardening, hiking, swimming, dancing, birdwatching, astronomy, antiques, animation, coyotes, cultural anthropology and comparative religions interest me and often inform my work. Although I enjoy reading for pleasure, I reserve most of my time for studying and producing art."

"In Asian art, I'm inspired by Persian miniatures, Tibetan Thanka paintings, Japanese Ukiyo-e prints, Indian animal drawings and Chinese guardian figures. In Western art, I'm magnetized by the documentary art of Explorer/ Scientist painters including Martin Johnson Heade, John James Audobon and Karl Bodmer. Contemporary artists I admire include Bob Anderson, Hilary Brace, Chuck Close, Henry Darger, Daniel Du Plessis, Don Ed Hardy, Tim Hawkinson, Jess, William Kentridge, Tom Knechtel, Sarah Perry, Hisashi Tenmyouya and Thomas Woodruff." |
