“In my work I desire to capture the trueness of a subject whether it is the majesty of nature or intricate subtleties found in a living soul.  If I have put down in paint, pencil or charcoal the truth about what I see and feel; if I translate a visual reality onto a piece of canvas with paint and convey the same feeling to you; then I know I have accomplished my work…to touch another soul!”
