A place of hope, a place of joy

I have heard many artists say their creativity comes from a place of pain.

For me, artwork comes from a place of joy, not of suffering.

I am too afraid of unlocking secret hurt with art.

Art is about painting a dream world, the world in which you wish you could exist. It is about escape, not revisiting. It is about letting go, not holding on.

I want endless joy in my life, so that is what my art tends to focus on.
