"S'Amuser"....... Definition/Translation:  To have fun to play.  2024 will definitely have this feeling throughout the year.

In this vibrant tapestry of shapes and hues, I've poured my soul into every brushstroke, creating a symphony of color and form. Inspired by the raw intensity of emotions, the canvas is alive with the spirit of cubism and surrealism, inviting the viewer into a dance of imagination. Enigmatic faces and enlivened nature converge, whispering tales of passion, mystique, and the lushness of life. This piece bursts with energy, promising to infuse any space with a vivacious, dreamlike ambiance.

Now that 2023 is soon to be behind us I want express my gratitude to each and everyone that has followed my artistic journey.  Without the love and support from everyone, especially my family and friends my growth as an artist would not be possible, so....

THANK YOU ALL AND  MAY THE NEW YEAR BRING YOU JOY, PEACE AND GOOD HEALTH.

Greetings! 

     It seems like we just celebrated Independence Day and now we are headed into Thanksgiving, Christmas and Hanukkah.  My favorite thing to do is sit down with friends and family at the dinner table and enjoy meals, share stories and laughter.   I hope everyone enjoys the up coming holidays and make many joyous memories.   

 

 Joy is within us to share and create.

Greetings Art Lovers!

    Winter is upon us and soon another year will end.  2022 has been an interesting year that felt a bit like a wild roller coaster ride.  Not the new fast zippy ones of today but more like the rickety wooden structures that you always have that question in your head "Is this thing safe?".  

    My latest painting "Pink Lemonade" allows you to still have that fresh happy sunshine feel even in the winter months.

Here are a few shows I will participating in this fall.
