My favorite Rothko at SFMOMA feels like a fireplace when I sit before it. Similarly, my paintings radiate the love and passion that I put into them, long after they're finished.
Ginkgo trees, and the aspens and cottonwoods of Santa Fe do the same thing. Storing up summer sunlight, they glow in the fall; luminous lanterns to brighten gloomy days. My art also shines back the care that goes into it, I find.
To me my paintings aren't "one and you're done" (and I do sell as well as collect my work). Even when I've moved onto the next piece, I often bask in the bright spirit that lives on in all my creations, and am inspired anew.
Stay tuned for more on my painting technique, approach, and inspiration!
