The act of painting is an act of meditation.

We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. Medicine, law, business, engineering: these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love...these are what we stay alive for.

Next to the Word of God, the noble art of music is the greatest treasure in the world.

I believe in the power of love and music to heal.
