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.

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

My joy burns brighter when I tend to the glowing hearth fires of home.

Romance makes a radiant sunrise out of every moment.

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

Whether it's a pebble in a riverbed or a soaring mountain peak, I see everything in the world as the handiwork of the Lord. When I paint, I try to represent the beauty of God's creation in my art. Many modern painters see the world as a jumble of random lines and shapes with no divine beauty or order, and their works reflect their viewpoint. Because I see God's peacefulness, serenity, and contentment, I work to capture those feelings on the canvas. My vision of God defines my vision of the world.

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.
