These bold joyful coneflowers don’t just bloom, they glow. Their fiery, sun-kissed colours feel like small declarations of resilience. Radiating energy, they stand tall  reminding us that light is something we can choose to turn toward again and again.

My Optimism of Color Blog

Every Tuesday and Friday, I post 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.
