“To be successful an artist has to have the clarity to know what he is doing when he chooses to create.  Through understanding of technique I can safely assume what the end result would be.  Of course we sometimes veer off to a change or two.  But to control your experience is to know when something different from the norm happens.  At that point we as artist choose to accept the change and go with the flow to see where we end up. That’s my scientist side.  We must know technique and experiment with it. The importance of clarity is that you are not confused as to what to do.”
