‘Now there are no priests or philosophers left, artists are the most important people in the world’. This quote describes very well one of the most inspiring painters for me. Gerhard Richter is an unpredictable, spiritual and confident painter who creates a practical religion from his art. Read more

I wasn’t aware of who Emilio Pucci was until my work was compared to his for the hundredth time. I’m happy to have anyone make that connection. I’m not a high fashion person.

Glad to see someone’s found a use for all of those floppy disks. Any suggestions for what to do with my pile of CDs……?
