“I believe all I need to know of the principles
of art are to be found in the works of the masters. I am
interested in depicting the truth about life, as I see
it, in a naturalistic way free of frills and bravado. I
enjoy depicting simple, common, everyday life and its objects
as things of beauty and worth. Through continued hard work
I intend to show the dignity and value of the subjects
I paint, giving to society paintings that transcend the
culture and it's ever changing tastes. . . paintings that
speak to the heart."
