'I feel that it is important for artists to record their impressions of the human condition, past and present, serious or humorous- for future generations to contemplate: A precious moment in time, a happy occasion, a funny or profound event. The power of a drawing or  painting to evoke an emotional response, or insight, in the viewer, is a wondrous thing. If the work can do this, the artist's efforts have been successful.'
