Thoughtful conversations with the people of Maine

If you struggle with writing and crisply articulating your ideas, it can be very limiting in your career trajectory. If you have difficulty writing, you'll hit a limit, I believe in many careers because ultimately it's communicating to other people outside of your domain that gets you to what I think of as the more interesting opportunities.

I think that for me has become the thing that it had such promise when we started out and now fast forward a couple of decades, it's really ended up causing problems that maybe we didn't understand were going to occur. I think that that probably accounts for 75% of what is driving dissatisfaction and distress amongst healthcare providers is the impediments to being able to do your job efficiently and things that get in the way of face time with patients because those are the joyful moments.

I really trust myself as an artist. It's getting looser and more open and gestural and lyrical and kind of letting things float, letting drawing integrate with painting on top and below. So it has a pulse that I find very stimulating, has a lot of kinetic energy, and vitality.
