Artist

I’ve spent most of my professional career creating images from words, earning my living as a writer. It seems fitting that the second half of my professional life should be a literal reversal. Instead of using words to create a sense of place and being, I use images to recreate that same space.

Before I picked up a tube of paint and attempted to translate a sense of place into a two dimensional plane, I really believed roads were black, trees were green and the sky was blue. Discovering the true color in a scene is akin to magic. It is as close to donning a pair of “rose colored glasses” as we are likely to get. Once discovered, the magic transforms your visual plane forever, and every moment of seeing becomes a treasure hunt for color.
