"Sometimes it's good to get a little lost," shares Rick Stevens from his Santa Fe studio. "Sometimes I'm forcing myself to do something where I don't know where it's going. It's a dance between wanting to have enough mastery to know how to do something successfully, and not becoming formulaic, not becoming attached to an element of a painting. It all has to work as one, like an organism – we're not hand plus foot plus head – we're a functioning whole. And a painting has to have that sort of life, too, where it lives as a whole organism."
