I have been an artist all my life, creating scenes that inspire me from nature. I have painted in oils from an early age. Art has always enthralled me to identify what I find beautiful.

The true work of art is but a shadow of the divine perfection.

Michelangelo

Art is a microscope which the artist fixes on the secrets of his soul, and shows to people these secrets

which are common to all.

Leo Tolstoy

A work of art which did not begin in emotion is not art.

Cezanne

Love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is done well.

Van Gogh
