Bold, brilliant, and brimming with purpose—this sculpture is a beacon of colour and courage. Anchored by its radiant red base and helmed by a determined sailor, it captures the exhilaration of charting a new course. More than maritime charm, it stands as a celebration of strength, resilience, and the promise of brighter days ahead. With optimism as its compass, it invites us all to navigate life’s vast seas with vibrance and vision.

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.
