I was of three minds,
Like a tree
In which there are three blackbirds

-Second stanza, Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird by Wallace Stevens
 
“My interest in art was stimulated by my studies of art history, philosophy, and classics. My interests in painting were stimulated by the work of the abstract expressionists, the German expressionists, and Mondrian.” –Artist statement
