Where do you find inspiration to create new art<br />

I am inspired by the arrival of the sun each morning and all the beauty it illuminates, an empty canvas, a clean brush,<br />

a new tube of paint, an animal sighting. I am inspired by the work of my acquaintances and friends. I am inspired by<br />

trips into NYC to see the Masters and Contemporaries. My students. I am always inspired by my students.<br />

What do you do to get past a creative block<br />

There are a few things that I do when I have a block. I step away from the canvas. I take photo’s of the piece and review<br />

them instead of the work its self, allowing a fresh eye. I do a self portrait to look within. I clean. Nothing gets me out of a<br />

funk quicker.<br />

What is your favorite subject to paint<br />

I have painted my horse more than any other animal and there is a certain spot along the Delaware River that I have<br />

painted Plein Air for the past 24 years. That being said, the paint is more important than the subject to me. I will paint<br />

anything. The paint is where the dialogue begins.<br />

What has been your favorite experience in your time as a professional artist<br />

The ability to paint every day and use the best quality supplies I can find.<br />

Who is an artist that you admire, and why<br />

Emily Carr. She was an adventurer, tough as hell, willing to take risks. Her work is raw and powerful. She never got<br />

hung up in unnecessary detail and each piece is full of emotion. “1871-1945 <strong>Art</strong>ist and Author Lover of nature” reads<br />

her head stone.<br />
