為什麼創作藝術？

For me, painting is a way of creating something that emerges from an intimate, personal reflection.

你畫畫多久了？

I’ve been painting for as long as I can remember.

你接受過正規的藝術訓練嗎？

I haven’t received any formal art training; my background is in technical training.

你是職業藝術家還是業餘愛好者？

I paint primarily as a hobby, although I’ve also led workshops and taught a few classes.

你從誰或什麼事物中汲取靈感？

I’m primarily inspired by light and shadow, and by the beauty of everyday scenes.

你畫畫的時候喜歡聽什麼類型的音樂？

I enjoy listening to country and bluegrass music while painting.

你有沒有過導師？

Yes, I’ve had several mentors over the years, but no one in particular stands out.

你每天都畫畫嗎？

Yes, I paint every day. If I’m not painting, I’m drawing.

你是一次只畫一幅畫，還是同時畫好幾幅？

I usually work on several paintings at the same time.

你會先創作概念作品嗎？

I usually make sketches before starting a painting.

你使用遮蔽液嗎？

No, I don’t use masking fluid.

你如何判斷你的作品是否完成？

I don’t really know. I stop painting when the painting starts to speak to me.
