"...It is as if the artist has created his own mythology. It is a very romantic, evocative painting, technically well balanced and very strong, formally" - Lucinda Barnes, curator of the Chicago Museum of Contemporary Art commenting on the painting "Journey"

"Intense!"- Overheard at an exhibition

"...paintings represent a blend of neo-impressionism and prehistoric Celtic fantasy...Each painting is richly colored...to capture the emotion of each work...mystical and enticing"- Andy Nau, Anchorage Daily News art reviewer reviewing solo show at Decker/ Morris Gallery.

"Your landscape have a grand, almost Wagnerian impact. When you look at them you get a sense of the mountainous landscape as dwelling for the gods." -
