Who has been your biggest, artistic influence?
So many artistic influences! In fashion – Calvin Klein and Anna Wintour. I love clean, stripped-down images. As for painters – Alice Neel and Luc Tuymans – their expressionistic nature with the human form.
What is you favorite album?
Favorite Album – Chicago – Greatest Hits. I’m a classic rocker.
Why give to Big Bend Cares?
I’m looking to share my work and it’s a great way to do that while giving back. I’ve lost a few friends in NYC to the disease and it’s an important cause.
Can you really have too much of a good thing?
Can you ever have too much of a good thing? I can’t imagine?! It’s never happened! Maybe too much ice cream in one sitting but other than that I say the more the merrier!
