"Why do I paint? Of the countless definitions of what is art, I embrace the philosophy that art is the expression of human vision and creative skill and produce work primarily for its beauty and emotional power. I paint, first and foremost to feed my soul, then to continually challenge my vision and skills. I want my paintings to awe the viewer, to stir their emotions and imagination. If I have accomplished that, you, the collector, and I, the artist, share a very special bond. There is no greater joy than having a collector bring one of an artist’s paintings into their home."
