"I’m just a simple man who enjoys painting scenes from my life to give people a glimpse of my time here on this planet”
“We have no choice but to follow our own star, to pursue that Holy Grail which is there to be won.“
“I like to think that when I’m long gone my paintings will tell people far more about me than anything or anyone else could.”
“Painting's greatest power, not unlike music or filmmaking, is the ability to move people”.
“I believe the purpose of art is to enhance and enrich one's life and the lives of others.”
“Memories can be hazy or clear, and we think of them as accurate, but they contain vast fictions.”
“If one is open to contemplation, of slowness of thought and a willingness to embrace nature, the more new ‘doors’ to the secrets of painting will open.”
“Art should elevate the soul of the viewer... it should awaken, transcend, and heighten society in its pursuit of truth and beauty.”
“With so much that’s wrong with the world now, quiet tonal paintings I think are a welcome reminder that the world still is beautiful, serene, and full of wonder.”
