“Medicine is both an art and a science, and both make appeal to the true physician."

"Art is medicine.”

“I celebrate life with ultramarine and burnt sienna. One moment, I see the copper flank of a horse and then, the colors flowing from my brush, absorbing into the paper, and finding the steed hiding in the page.  I like working in pastel and oil, but I love watercolor.  The light enters the pigment, illuminating the colors from within.


The moment never ceases to amaze me when my painting first takes on a living presence.  I want to paint with honesty and sensitivity.  I want to find the soul of the image that connects me to the spirit of the horse that first inspired me.”
