I’ve had many long nights after two hours of commuting and an 8-5. 7PM – 1AM is about the only time I can get things done!

It takes vision, commitment and a sometimes myopic focus in order to complete a series of works. After the piece is created its still not done. There is the finishing, framing, toting around to various locations, oh yeah and don’t forget the all important selling! : )

But I love to create and that part never feels like work. That’s what keeps us going I guess!
