For me, as a narrative painter, the issue has always been content. Early in my career I was drawn to the images, symbols and painting of the medieval period – but not just the Christian tradition of Western Europe. I loved the content of Hindu, Pagan, Judaic, Buddhist and Islamic painting as well. –Artist statement
