My work tends to be both romantic and classical in nature and approach. I am interested in the universal statement. My work tends to be abstracted from nature. It deals with the general rather than the particular. Work is prompted by the beauty in a universe created by God. Every weed or rock is worthy of artistic consideration. I try not only to examine the nature of things but to give them some uplifting meaning. It is important to develop independence in style and approach. It is important to be a normal, useful individual. Most success is sweat and hard work. Patience, be optimistic. An artist must be his own toughest critic.
