"Art is a communication, It can call forth a rainbow of feelings. It can be beautiful or ugly, make a statement or be indifferent. The universe is built of polarities and everything that comes between. Ugliness pulls the spirit down, beauty lifts it up. I prefer beauty".

" I feel beauty is the closest we can physically get to our true nature - it's a personal thing, simple or complex, always in motion".

"For a moment, the painter captures beauty and holds it still. Our lives are ultimately our canvas to create, regardless of circumstances or who or what creates against us".

"I prefer to paint not what exists, but a new reality. It is my desire that the viewer will feel the electricity and energy from a new creation, one that simultaneously imparts a sense of the aesthetic and the spiritual as being in the same space and on the same playing field".
