I envy the ability of the Butterfly to touch us with their pure physical beauty, their ability to transform themselves and to so freely seek the wisdom of the universe. Painting gives me a feeling of joy that I imagine a Butterfly must feel when roaming the earth in such a free, elegant and unencumbered fashion. I hope to pass on my feeling of joy to others through my paintings.
