"At the Bennington Center for the Arts in Vermont I had the opportunity to paint a fine old gentleman who had spent many years earning his living as a plumber.  The years of hard work were very apparent in the slump of his body as well as they were written in his face.  I must be honest, at first I thought how am I ever going to make a beautiful painting out of this man.  Then as he began to speak his face lit up as he recalled memories from his past and as he spoke I began to see the internal beauty of this man, the joys and the sorrows of a long hard life.  Out of that conversation came one of the most interesting paintings I have to date.  Amazing what you can see when you listen."
