“I studied all of the paintings stolen from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. The thefts of these great works hit the art world like thirteen daggers to the heart.”

“My paintings recognize the originals, but I add contemporary strokes to familiar, classical subjects. Painting in my own style, I honor my teachers – the original artists. It is with great respect that I pay homage to my beloved Rembrandt and to Vermeer, Manet, Degas, and Flinck, as well as to Thomire and Gu from the Shang dynasty.”
