"Nosotros, los que nos esforzamos por crear imágenes de significación emotiva somos conscientes de qué la vara a sido puesta muy alta por nuestros predecesores. Pensar no tenemos más aciertos en la pintura realista, o cuestionar su relevancia, sería un error.El gran arte es un testimonio potencial del hombre.
Nuestro tiempo es único porque tenemos más información disponible para nosotros que nunca, y más libertad para expresar lo que tenemos cierto. creo que estamos entrando en una nueva era de expansión para la pintura realista, una edad que va a cambiar la pintura y la manera en que veremos a nuestro mundo durante muchos años por venir "
"We who strive to create images of emotive significance are aware of how high the bar has been placed by our predecessors. To think we have no further goals inrealist painting, or question its relevance, would be a mistake. Great art is testament to man’s potential. Our time is unique because we have more information available to us than ever before, and more freedom to express whatever we hold true. I believe we are entering a new age of expansion for realist painting, an age that will change painting and the way we look at our world for many years to come."
