Autumn invites you to notice transience. In the softened light, even the smallest transitions become luminous – a burst milkweed pod releasing its silks, a flower folding into its final shape. These moments, often overlooked, carry their own radiant beauty. My Meditations on Autumn series offers a pause in the season’s drift toward winter.

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.
