"I have observed with fascination our human rituals as a missionary kid American growing up in Japan, studying drawing and painting in France and traveling as a filmmaker. I work to re-member culture, reassembling stereotypical elements to find new, living combinations.

The act of making art has silenced the critic in me. What magic to be able to paint a credible old man reaching down to pick a flower! Painting is the hardest thing I have ever done. And the most joyful."
