In these oil paintings, I explore the space between knowing and not-knowing, a liminal terrain where spirit guides, dream visions, and cryptic runes emerge from the subconscious. Layered, intuitive, and open-ended, these hieroglyphs of the psyche reflect my restless, joyful experimentation with form, colour, and meaning.

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.
