"I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure of the landscape. Something waits beneath..." — Andrew Wyeth

I don't really have studios. I wander around around people's attics, out in fields, in cellars, anyplace I find that invites me.

To have all your life's work and to have them along the wall, it's like walking in with no clothes on. It's terrible.

At 18 I began painting steadily fulltime and at age 20 had my first New York show at the Macbeth Gallery.

I surrendered to a world of my imagination, reenacting all those wonderful tales my father would read aloud to me. I became a very active reader, especially history and Shakespeare.
