“Art provides a tool for communication between the viewer and me. Color is a major component in that communication which can evoke different moods and ideas. I believe in presenting images that reflect positive ideas and situations. I work in various media because I choose which medium gives the best presentation of my idea. It is important for the viewers to see my work and view the content based on their own life experiences.” -Michael J. McBride
