“If the world and our lives in it were clear and easy to understand, there would be little purpose for representations, symbols and metaphors to describe the feelings, impulses or notions that normally provide impetus for the creation of art."

“I want to express the idea that reality is more fluid. Though my eye and mind may focus on one thing in a scene, in reality all else is soft, interpenetrating in motion.”

"I hope viewers would feel similar to how I feel when I create the work. I try to be contemplative and reflective. I strive for a sense of peace and unity, but with recognition of the edge, the mysterious complexity there is in nature."
