'I would like above all for the painting to inspire and to move a heart, to thrill and to invigorate and to act as an excuse for a noble existence, which is a lot. To become a vehicle for an Adamic reconnection, a remembrance to occur, while through that remembrance a celebration occurs, a dance within the heart which proclaims a Joy and preciousness held to, appreciated and never forgotten.'
From 'A Painting like Me'
