I bought art to fill in a gap that I felt existed in ME. I thought if I had certain things people would think this or that about me. Art was like a language that I could not speak, I knew it meant something when I saw it...it spoke to me without using words and I was always trying to understand what it was saying. I never could understand and eventually got rid of everything I owned. Now I make art. And making it is the same thing in a different way. Now I feel as if I am speaking when I make art....and I still do not know what it is I am saying, but it is important that I say it. Before I ‘became’ an artist, I had my house filled with art.
