"I’ve heard artists say:  “I can’t get past this blank piece of paper”.  I say, “turn me loose”!  A fresh start to a new journey.  Like a composer must feel when he plays the first note which leads him to the next note and finally to a melody.  The moment the first color moves, I feel like a conductor leading an orchestra.  One color leads to another, one shape to the next one and so forth.  I let the painting “sing” to me.  It lets me know where to go and what path to take.  I actually “feel” what I’m doing.  For me, there are no preconceived ideas.  I allow my subconscious to guide me down the path and I listen to my heart!"
