I love color! Love, love, love it! Bold, saturated, luscious color! It can have such a positive impact on people. Combine color with design and contrast and that’s the essence of my artwork. Even as a child, I was fascinated by optical art and the hippy-dippy flower power art of the 1960s. As I grew older, I learned about fractals and mathematical designs that had a major impact on the type of art I am known for now. Most people are surprised to learn that I started out as a portrait painter. Even though I had all this color and design stuff running around in my head, I was urged to paint realistically and led to believe that my abstract creations were too colorful and whimsical to be considered serious or fine art. Isn’t that crazy? Well, I think so. And I’m on a mission to prove otherwise. It started about eight years ago when I was going through some personal struggles. Life seemed to have lost its meaning. Finally, one day I just decided to paint what needed to be expressed and my artwork just blossomed. I had no idea how wonderful my life as an artist would become.
