This assemblage, made up of wood and metal pieces I’ve collected over the years displayed in a vintage box, reflects my heritage. My paternal grandfather was a shoemaker, and my father, a welder. The black stone, an iron ore pellet, was made at Hamilton’s steel mill. Reliquary 1 measures 19”x16”x4”.

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 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.
