"My art recognizes the culmination of my life for the past near fifty years, from where I have been to where I am. There has been a strong influence of locale, from flatlands to factories, from cities to seascapes, which inspires the imagery of my art. There has also been an influence of people who have affected and/or affirmed my visual opinions and philosophies. Art is neither good nor bad, only true or false. I strive to achieve truth in all my art."
