"Words are just a way we communicate. Images are a way we communicate. And I couldn't figure out why they had to be in different baskets."

"The titles are often like a three-word poem that is a part of the piece. It’s really opened up my work to where I can make an abstract-expressionist, gestural painting next to a geometrical painting next to an image of a piano, and it kind of makes sense for me."
