Just in time for Spring! A quick, colourful look at the most whimsical birdhouses I’ve found on my travels, each one a little masterpiece made for our feathered friends. These charming creations aren’t just decorative; they help provide safe nesting spaces in a world where natural habitats are shrinking. Enjoy this two‑minute celebration of creativity, conservation, and the joy of noticing small wonders.

Some photographs from this video are available in a keepsake, print-on-demand publication: Made with Love … For the Birds from Amazon.

My Optimism of Color Blog

Every Tuesday and Friday, I’m posting a photo or piece of art that I’ve created that reflects what I call the Optimism of Color. Through vibrant colors and bold visceral forms, these works shout out my joy at being alive, and my good fortune at being able to continue to make art after surviving five cardiac arrests in one night in 2011.

Each of the images I post brings a smile to my face. I hope they bring you similar joy and laughter through the Optimism of Color.
