I am like Picasso because I love the art movement of Cubism.  I love the idea that time and space can be broken up into planes in a picture, the idea that there are different ways of seeing time in fine art.  Cubism comes from an interior meditation of what one sees.  I like to diverge from realism and imagine landscapes that exist outside of our time and space and live inside a spiritual plane.  They talk to me, these images I create from my imagination- the same way the cubists continued to follow a new way of seeing a world not based on direct realism.

I am like Picasso in that I love surrealism.  I dream intensely every night and so like surrealist I am influenced by images that break up illogical of sequence.  I prefer the chance movement of falling into a picture sometimes, while other times I like to be very planned ahead of time.  To fall into a picture without a plan of where it is going next is to surrender to a dream and an interior intuition.  This aspect of surrealism and visual art resonates with me.  

I am like Picasso in that I love to draw people. I find line drawings of human profiles an obsessive mark I have been making since I was about 7 or younger.  I love the human body in all shapes and forms and like Picasso I like to hang out with artists in town who attend live studio drawing classes to gather material and the discipline of seeing.
