我早已喜爱艺术并进行艺术创作，但我选择不在艺术学校进修，因为我认为我需要做些其他的事，而从艺难以谋生，但我最后兼得之。我只是稍稍认为海洋生物学是我的工作，艺术是我用以自我表现的中介。

I've always been interested in art and making things, but I chose not to go to art school because I thought I needed to do something else. Art was a tough way to make a living. I've always done both. I just kind of figured that the marine biology would be a career and the art would be something I did for my own self-expression.
