Nothing lifts the spirit quite like flowers in full bloom and dahlias do it with flair. My radiant series showcases dahlias in all their dazzling glory: vivid hues, intricate forms, and a joyful energy that draws in pollinators like bees, nature’s own ambassadors of hope. Each petal seems to shout optimism, reminding us that beauty and renewal are always within reach. This image features a cactus-type dahlia.

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.
