Love is the stepping stone to new beginnings.

The concept that an artist would be revered by popular culture is an immediate dismissal of his relevance as an artist.

I was always the kid who could draw. I had this talent, and it was the one thing that gave me some kind of dignity in the midst of my personal environment.

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

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.

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

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