"In my paintings I look for the small details, the remarkable differences in the landscape which tend to make it more individualistic. I want to bring to the viewer's attention the most unusual, the colorful in the plain, dull landscape that most people will never notice or even acknowledge until seeing it in a painting."
"My greatest challenge is in convincing the viewer that those beautiful colors and that variety of detail really do exist, but in a different form than they usually see them. Interwoven with the beauties of the natural landscape are the small pieces of colorful shapes, lines, edges and form that one rarely sees until an artist illuminates it."
"My joy in life is in finding the mediocre, the obscure and transforming them into a beautiful, satisfying scene."
