"I view art as an inspirational tool."

"Everyone can identify with a fragrant garden, with beauty of sunset, with the quiet of nature, with a warm and cozy cottage."

"People who put my paintings on their walls are putting their values on their walls: faith, family, home, a simpler way of living, the beauty of nature, quiet, tranquillity, peace, joy, hope. They beckon you into this world that provides an alternative to your nightly news broadcast."

"I view art as an inspirational tool."

"I remember my mom had a big collection of copies of Saturday Evening Post magazines, and that was really my introduction to those great illustrators."
