"I don't think being an artist is something you choose. You do it because you have no choice. I am compelled by forces I don't really understand to make physical representations of elusive ephemeral things that can't really be physically represented, and yet I have to try. It doesn't matter if it's representational or abstract. The impulse is the same--to try to capture the fleeting, changing energy and rhythm of something that moves inside me in response to the world."
