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

The disintegration of the culture starts with the artist. Im on a crusade to turn the tide in the arts, to restore dignity to the arts and, by extension, to the culture.

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

Each of us is a small part of God's plan. I'm a small part. I create paintings that are being used by God.

With whatever talent and resources I have, I'm trying to bring light to penetrate the darkness many people feel.

People who put my paintings on their walls are putting their values on their walls: faith, family, home, a simpler way of living, the beauty of nature, quiet, tranquillity, peace, joy, hope. They beckon you into this world that provides an alternative to your nightly news broadcast.

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.
