I tend to go for the warmer colors instead of the cooler colors but they're not super bright—there's a glow but they're earthy. I try to get drama out of the color. How has your health affected you as an artist? I'm good with the little small tight details, but the big stuff isn't as easy. My arms get really fatigued so I have to do everything in little spurts. I can't do a major all-nighter anymore. But it's changed me in other ways. I don't think about it every day, I just live. The things I thought of as really, really scary or emotional before don't carry the same weight anymore. I have days when I can't ignore it. Those are hard days. And then there are some days I feel really good. I notice those days, and I enjoy them. "Murals are more than just illustrating the facts." Missoula Catholic school heritage project.
