From a viewer:

"I wrote in my journal this morning that I found it…music, painting, all of it…to be a moving exhibition of creativity. Life seems to grow from your fingertips and brush: blossoms, birds, leaves, even thorns on roses and butterflies and whimsical bees, all emerging from graceful, confident strokes and the roll of your wrist, transferring ink to paper. First come seemingly random blobs, as it were, and then disconnected lines, only to take on unmistakable shapes and dimensions and finally vibrant images of things living and beautiful. I found your work, so swift and deft and confident, to be a metaphor for God's creative acts, as God (so Genesis relates) looked upon the void of the universe's empty canvas and set a blob here, established a line there, brought in color and light, added structure and connectedness until there emerged from the void, from the emptiness, life and beauty, shape and meaning by the confident, swift hand of the creator's brush and the gentle roll of his hand over the void, leaving unmistakable beauty and form where only emptiness and silence had been before. I must admit that I wept just a bit at your metaphoric demonstration of how it all once began. And, like the Creator, I saw that it was good!"

- William C. Blackwell, minister, Christian Church (Disciples of Christ)
