“I love to paint and draw. It allows me to share with any number of people my God given gift. My favorite subject is the complexity of our human existence, our movement, our expressiveness, our determination, our attitudes, and our beauty. I don’t necessarily look for all of those elements when I paint, but I am aware of their presence. When a work of mine is publicly successful, I believe it is because I was able to put the viewer in touch with his or her awareness of my subject.” – LA
