    -Henry D. Thoreau

    "My art is the result of my thoughts and feelings about the place where I live.  Freedom, Imagination and encounter with nature are the source from which these visions are realized. Ultimately these paintings stand as evidence of a life being lived, and above all are meant to be seen, so as you look at the paintings allow your eye to wander and your mind to wonder"  -Eric Harrison
