All the Real Girls.
4. What’s your greatest extravagance?
Traveling to Europe, in the south of France and Paris and Spain. I love it there.
5. What do you consider your greatest achievement?

A cat. A white one.

The Road by Cormack McCarthy.

Messiness? Maybe a designed chaos. A lot of what I do is pretty insane but there’s a method to the madness. “Intuitive mark-making.”
11. What’s your current state of mind?
I think a lot of really good things are happening in this moment and I want to “ride the wave.” Move forward and not fall.
12. If you were to have a motto, what would it be?
“Don’t die.” Also, “Care about what you do.”
