It's a simple liberating reality - the best things in life are mine for the choosing.

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

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

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

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.

The flow of blessings in our life is directly related to our passing blessings along to someone else.

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.
