The greatest success is creating whatever you want without conditions. I don't do commissions unless I really want to, because it's like having a job.

I was tired of illustration. You'd work so hard on a commission and it would go in to a magazine, and you'd turn the page and it was gone.

I create for artistic intent only and do everything from life.

I don't do commissions and I like the freedom to create what my heart or mind tells me to.

There is a connection between me and the collectors, and as admirers of the work they tell me about the differences the pieces are able to make in their lives on a daily basis.

My goal is to make fine art, and fine art comes from the soul. If you have virtuosity and facility, you can take and create something of significance.

Sculpture will last a lot longer than painting.
