“I incorporate art into my everyday life.  My late artist father was my mentor, much of my inspiration comes from my two children and from the places where I have lived.  I feel it is important to catch the true spirit of the moment in one’s work, whether it is spontaneity and joyfulness, sadness and despair or everything in-between.  It is an ever-changing enterprise, a continuum, a culmination of the experience, and ultimately, the finished piece of art."

"A successful painting to me, is one that you can get lost into, and—by and large--inside of the image, there can be discovered, a metaphor if you will, that is unique and personal to the viewer, which is not limited to one exclusive meaning or conclusion."

"When I paint, I just let the painting take me, where it needs to go."
