To my beautiful wife—thank you for your love and humor through all these years.

To my children—you give my life true meaning.

To my parents—thanks for the lessons shared and for giving me perspective.

To my wife Lisa—thank you for always being there to inspire me. Your talent, determination, and sheer beauty never cease to amaze me. I couldn’t have done it without you.

To my mother and father for giving me my love of art and not letting me take that year off from school—thank you.

To my sister and family—thank you.
