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 more you give yourself to others, the more joy and peace will flow into your own life.

I try to embrace people with love, unconditional love, like Christ did.

The worlds I paint leave a lot to engage the imagination by hinting at what lies beyond the four edges of the painting.

I view art as an inspirational tool.

Beautiful objects, ideas, even beautiful people all share the power to lift the spirits and motivate creativity while at the same time soothing the soul.

Whether it's a pebble in a riverbed or a soaring mountain peak, I see everything in the world as the handiwork of the Lord. When I paint, I try to represent the beauty of God's creation in my art. Many modern painters see the world as a jumble of random lines and shapes with no divine beauty or order, and their works reflect their viewpoint. Because I see God's peacefulness, serenity, and contentment, I work to capture those feelings on the canvas. My vision of God defines my vision of the world.
