Quotes
"I'm not just painting a portrait I'm finding out more about the person, and it has much more purpose and relevance to the place I am painting it in."
"I quite like that about what I'm doing with public art, is that a lot of the time I'm taking me out of it, it's not about me, it's about the person I'm painting and the people I'm connecting with."
"I always come back to that feeling of purpose, and if i feel like what I am doing is a solution to a problem, or is giving back in some way, and its not just about me than I know that its right."
"All of those little challenges have added something special to my process."
