ARTIST STATEMENT
For me the creative process starts with an idea or concept. Then I go to work!
If the idea seems like it might become something I continue on! As the piece develops, IT decides what it wants to BE. From then on, I just try to keep up with the piece until it’s time to stop! Art is never complete.
Here is an interview with Bill from a few years ago.
