Filling a space in a beautiful way - that is what art means to me.

Filling a space in a beautiful way - that is what art means to me.

I have lived on a razors edge. So what if you fall off. I'd rather be doing something I wanted to do. I'd walk it again.

My painting is what I have to give back to the world for what the world gives to me.

I like to convey the idea that art is important in everyday life.

I have painted portraits that to me are almost photographic. I remember hesitating to show the paintings, they looked so real to me. But they have passed into the world as abstractions - no one seeing what they are.

If you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it's your world for a moment.
