With this blog post, I celebrate the 15th anniversary today of my surviving five cardiac arrests in one night on January 6, 2011. It’s also the 14th anniversary of launching this blog! Since then I’ve posted 1,759 Optimism of Color images for my delight and your enjoyment!

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.
