When I find my focus and keep my balance- I find that all is right with my world.

I'm working on a snow scene right now, and it's summer. It's hot, and I will get chilly. I'll have to turn on the heat. My wife walks in, and it's 95 degrees in the studio. I know it's nutty, but it's a projection you have where you step into the painting.

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

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.

I believe a radiant, light-filled tomorrow should be normal to the experience of living.

I'm a warrior for light.

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.
