Digital Sketch, Remembering Kindergarten, 2008.  56 x 267 centimeters.

Painting and all that is associated with it in my mind equates to personal freedom. While painting, I am able to be completely honest, vulnerable, eccentric and temperamental. In the moment, my patience and my process affect no one other than myself. This concept alone is empowering, and implies that I have some level of control over my own life.
