I view art as an inspirational tool.

A painting has a lot of advantages over other forms of communication. Unlike a movie, you don't have to put it into a machine and turn it on. It's just there every day. It's not limited by the element of time. It's a constant part of the home.

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

Steeping my life in beauty brings color to my days and a song to my heart

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 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.
