"When I'm immersed in my work, I pair my observations with a persistent interaction with sight, taste, touch, smell, hearing, and psychic sensitivities (including considerations of  evolutionary concepts, geographical actions, man's encroachment on the natural world, body language, etc.).  In this manner I gain some understanding of God's creation. My goal is not to copy scenes or tableau, but rather to put down with paint and brush the spirit and sensual qualities I find there. "
