“The characteristics of Japanese art—line, flat color, pattern and asymmetrical balance—are elements that inspire me and complement my work.  The subjects of my prints and paintings are my own personal expressions on current events, family relationships, reflections on nature and personal beliefs.  Often, an object is indicated (such as a leaf, foot, or shark).  Furthermore, personal symbols are also included within some paintings that represent nascent ideas that have no words.” -Goodell
