High culture is paranoid about sentiment. But human beings are intensely sentimental.

When I filter the sunshine in my life, I bask in the light of a transforming and inspiring reality.

It's when I let myself get little that I tumble head over heels into joy.

I try to create paintings that are a window for the imagination. If people look at my work and are reminded of the way things once were, or perhaps, the way they could be, then I've done my job.

You have to expect spiritual warfare whenever you stand up for righteousness or call attention to basic values. It's just a matter of light battling the darkness. But the light wins every time. You can't throw enough darkness on light to put it out.

Balance, peace, and joy are the fruit of a successful life.

A piece of art is a compact form of the universe.
