Tomorrow marks the start of the Chinese New Year and the beginning of the Year of the Snake! 🐍 The snake is a symbol of wisdom, elegance, and mystery, embodying qualities that are both captivating and transformative. Much like the stunning Northern ring-neck snake I photographed in Venice, Florida, this creature represents adaptability and the power of change. Let’s embrace the spirit of the snake as we step into a new year full of possibilities and vibrant energy.

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.
