“The real poet studies the world as it is: lovely, terrible, sensible, grotesque; and would ask for no other in its place. Humor is the final sign and seal of seriousness for it is a proof that reality is held in honor and in love.” -- Mark van Doren

“It is through artful expression that people reveal their inner soul, enabling both the artist and the viewer to express and feel a variety of concerns . I have the most fun with work that questions our society’s social dilemmas, political foibles and destructive tendencies.” --Gerard Ferrari
