"Painters are engaged not just in covering a surface with paint, but also in the act of expressing emotion or content that is not sayable in words. ...Everyone who has a success story has found a way to make art that is deeply meaningful to them. That, in turn, affects and moves other people."

No matter how successful we are, no matter how famous we get, at some point someone is going to compare you to someone even more famous. (Because there’s always someone more famous than you!)

Love of beauty is taste. The creation of beauty is art.

Love possesses not nor will it be possessed, for love is sufficient unto love.

What happens is not as important as how you react to what happens.

An artist's sphere of influence is the world.

Your talent shines when you do what you love.

Explore, experiment, try new things, but be honest with yourself. Create the works that give you the most fulfillment and satisfaction. Look at your work and see if you can identify your voice. Create the works that are you. Be you.

Oh, love will make a dog howl in rhyme.

"Atmosphere is an incredibly important element when taking on the job of painting landscapes. Atmosphere is not just the way the sky looks, but the way the surroundings appear. The sky is the vehicle for weather, and the weather affects everything it touches."
