A Really Good Picture Looks As If

I Don't Resent Being A Female Painter. I Don't Exploit It. I Paint.

We Would Sift Through Every Inch Of What It Was That Worked, Or If It Didn't, And Wonder What Was Effective In It, In Terms Of Paint, The Subject Matter, The Size, The Drawing.

I've Explored A Variety Of Directions And Themes Over The Years. But I Think In My Painting You Can See The Signature Of One Artist, The Work Of One Wrist.

Art Has A Will Of Its Own. It Has Nothing To Do With The Taste Of The Moment Or What's Expected Of You. That's A Formula For Dead Art, Or Fashionable Art.

I Have Always Been Concerned With Painting That Simultaneously Insists On A Flat Surface And Then Denies It.
