I'm a warrior for light.

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

The power of prayer is like turning on a light as it illuminates God's purpose for our lives. There is no greater connection to knowing His will other than the word.

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

Romance makes a radiant sunrise out of every moment.

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

Quiet time and solitude are vital to helping me keep perspective. I consider myself fortunate to have so much quiet built into my profession. I spend long hours by myself at my easel. And while I work, I think-of the future, of my loved ones, of God's goodness and the many exciting opportunities that surround me. I ponder the challenges I face, the needs of others, the direction my life is going.
