"Art is a calling. It is difficult not to paint. The creative spirit is restless and I find myself heading for the easel... the way some people come home. It is the most authentic career I could choose."

"Glazing is an important part of my technique. I create layer upon layer of color to give a sense of depth and mystery. The glazing creates unpredictable colors through the use of light rather than pigment alone. The lustre of the glaze tends to give the acrylics the rich look of oils."

"Color is the foundation of all my work. It carries spiritual as well as deep emotional impact. Nothing communicates visually as fast as color. From the pulsing, in-your-face, adrenaline-ridden red, to the enduring, reassuring, ancient solidarity of neutrals."
