“I like renting short-term studios in shared spaces — it makes me feel free.”

“The work grows with the size of my space.”

“In Ghana, my favorite ‘museum’ isn’t a traditional building at all. It’s the local artists and artisans themselves.”

“I’m drawn to how things fold, hold, or blur together.”

“Gardening keeps me preoccupied as my ideas continue to germinate.”

“Sometimes, I need to live with a piece to fall in love with it and get rid of any doubt that brews, a struggle many artists know well.”

“I can paint in my pajamas and at any time of day.”

“I have come to welcome spontaneity.”

“This space is a creative mess, and I like it that way. It feels alive.”

“When the spirit moves me and the work goes well, I dance.”

“Central heating would be nice.”

“There’s a Rauschenberg piece I like to sit with to reconnect with why I make art at all.”
