The disintegration of the culture starts with the artist. Im on a crusade to turn the tide in the arts, to restore dignity to the arts and, by extension, to the culture.
Each of us is a small part of God's plan. I'm a small part. I create paintings that are being used by God.
Quiet time and solitude are vital to helping me keep perspective. I consider myself fortunate to have so much quiet built into my profession. I spend long hours by myself at my easel. And while I work, I think-of the future, of my loved ones, of God's goodness and the many exciting opportunities that surround me. I ponder the challenges I face, the needs of others, the direction my life is going.
I'm a warrior for light.
I love audio books, and when I paint I'm always listening to a book. I find that my imagination really takes flight in the painting process when I'm listening to audio books.
I grew up in a broken home. My dad was out of the home when I was five years old. I never knew him very well.
High culture is paranoid about sentiment. But human beings are intensely sentimental.
With whatever talent and resources I have, I'm trying to bring light to penetrate the darkness many people feel.
