The flow of blessings in our life is directly related to our passing blessings along to someone else.

My paintings always feature trails that dissolve into mysterious areas, patches of light that lead the eye around corners, pathways, open gates, etc.

When we learn to say a deep, passionate yes to the things that really matter, then peace begins to settle onto our lives like golden sunlight sifting to a forest floor.

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

I remember my mom had a big collection of copies of Saturday Evening Post magazines, and that was really my introduction to those great illustrators.

I share something in common with Norman Rockwell and, for that matter, with Walt Disney, in that I really like to make people happy.

I was always the kid who could draw. I had this talent, and it was the one thing that gave me some kind of dignity in the midst of my personal environment.
