"My greatest joy is to produce work that sparks in the observer a laugh or a warmth or a recognized familiarity which beckons…Particularly on the figurative or more contemporary pieces, it is that edge or sense of emotion that I hope to impart that draws one in. Of course it is always my wish that my pleasure in the company of animals comes through in my wildlife art. I have had the good fortune to know, raise and spend time with many. Often choosing to live on the edge of wildlife habitats, I have been blessed to experience many special relationships."
