I want to paint the human struggle, human pain. You used to be a rich kid, back in Calgary's version of the haute monde . Now you are Young Romantic. I just want to paint. I will change my painting anyway my work requires it.
Painting has to get going here, but after that, the selection process is going to happen.
But I won't be here. I don't want to exile myself in Vancouver, I'm planning to go to Europe. I want to get out of fashionable art scenes. This atmosphere does not allow you room to fail. It's success, success, success.
