"My paintings are about seeing God's beauty in the world around us. My desire is to create honest expression of the subjects I paint and interpret them boldly, to capture that intangible feeling that touches the soul and become great art. I seek God through his gift of light, color, nature and imagination. His beauty and grace are what I seek to communicate through my art.
