     "My sculpture catches the pride and grit of a Texas Ranger or the goofiness of a foal trying to figure out if the new stilts will ever work as legs or the barely controlled explosion of power of a prancing stallion after he has just raced the wind… and won."

     "My paintings are snapshots like the 20 minutes of magic that happens about 7:43 AM on a winter morning as the sun lays layer after layer of chunky golden light on the west wall of the Grand Canyon or a glimpse of the sun slicing through a fortress of rocks that stand like a sentry as you leave the Petrified Forest.  I use gold leaf, silver leaf and precious metal coatings to some of my paintings.  The way ambient light plays with 22 karat gold on the rugged peaks of ancient stone is so like being there when the sun comes up in the mountains.  The silver as sky reacts to ambient light changes unlike anything else I know."
