As I was walking home today, a thought occurred to me. What if I didn’t recognize anything and everything was new? How magical would that be? Some might find that terrifying but I know I would be captivated. That which we think is ordinary is often magnificent if we really think about how it came to existence.

Color is a focus of my work for a variety of reasons, but the main reason is for healing. My father was an angry and violent man. He took out his rage on his family daily and I took it upon myself to protect my mother and brother from him by becoming the focus of his fury. We didn’t have much, but my mother filled our home with colorful art to bring radiance into an otherwise dark place. I followed in her footsteps and escaped into vibrant art of all shapes and forms. Getting into the flow of mindful art creation has been the single most important part of my healing. I hope to share the happiness that colorful art brings me with others, especially children.
