You ask why I'm fascinated by the human figure? As a human animal, I am interested in some of my fellow animals: in their minds and bodies.

I am only interested in painting the actual person, in doing a painting of them, not in using them to some ulterior end of art. For me, to use someone doing something not native to them would be wrong.

I am just fascinated by this reassurance from a menacing figure. It is rather frightening.

I am a fosterer of animals.

I am most interested in people and the human form.

I'm not an animal lover if that means you think things are nice if you can pat them, but I am intoxicated by animals.
