"The message of my paintings is a simple one, 'Feel peace.' Let the combinations of light, color, atmosphere, and the beautiful landscape wash over you and take you to a place where you can hear the sounds of the birds around you, feel the warmth of a setting sun, and smell the freshly-cut hay. I seek peace--in the world and within myself. Painting helps me experience that, and I hope that my work will have the same effect on you."
