What keeps you motivated and inspires you go to on every day?

The idea that I don’t know how a painting will end. Each picture is an experiment, and I encourage a process that can take a painting to a place very different from where it began. I like to think of a canvas as a Petri dish in which particular elements of the culture, or composition, may thrive, even for a time, or give way to other elements. Painting has a life and force of its own, which can be very frustrating and rewarding.
