I Was Meticulously Copying Other Art And

Being Able To Make A Living Doing Something One Truly Loves To Do - Is My Definition Of Success.

I Want[ed] To Make A Show Of Really Big Pictures, Because You See Male Artists Doing It All The Time. It Just Seemed Like Such A Big Egotistical Thing. I Thought, 'i Don't Know That Many Women That Really Do That.... Damn It, I'm Gonna Do That-make This Really Big Picture.'

I Was Feeling Guilty In The Beginning; It Was Frustrating To Be Successful When A Lot Of My Friends Weren't. Also, I Was Constantly Being Reminded Of That By People In My Family Making Jokes.

I Don't Analyze What I'm Doing. I've Read Convincing Interpretations Of My Work, And Sometimes I've Noticed Something That I Wasn't Aware Of, But I Think, At This Point, People Read Into My Work Out Of Habit. Or I'm Just Very, Very Smart.

Nowadays, With Digital Printing, It's So Easy To Make Everything Perfect, Which Is Not Always A Good Idea. Sometimes The Mistakes Are Really What Make A Piece.
