The Natural World, when left to its own devices, is a cornucopia of intertwined relationships, shapes, colors & textures. Though distinctly different, if we look closely enough, we can see & feel that it all harmonizes so magnificently.
This is what I am attempting to emulate in my studio… differences that evoke the eye & soul while dancing in complete synchronicity. Value, color, & design harmony that excite & inspire.

For the last 4 years I have posted a link for this free 3 day workshop with Nicolas Wilton. I watch it every year even though I have taken his courses...there is so much packed into these 3 days. If you are hungry for something new and inspiring for your creative muse, check the link below.

This is called ‘Spring Road’. It’s painted paper on arches paper. I collect Beach and River stones just because I love them, this the first time I’ve incorporated them into a piece
I know that Spring is here because the koi are out of hibernation. This is a response to there awakening
Many of you know that I am a painter, sculptor and writer. And some of you may have noticed that my work changes from time to time in style and materials, and some of you also may have noticed that my work has taken a noticeable turn in value, design and color and edged quite dramatically into a more abstract approach. What I’d like to share is that I have been working closely with an Art Course and philosophy called Art2Life with Nicolas Wilton, that has knocked the top off of all of my pre conceived ideas of the unbridled potential for my art and anyone else willing and anxious to learn and implement these principles in order to knock the top off of theirs.
3 years ago a friend shared this link to a 3day workshop on value, design and color… I was hesitant at first, but thought, ‘What do I have to lose?’
My life and my art has never been the same. We have so much ‘free’ stuff sent to us and there is always a something ‘not so free’ on the other end of it. This 3 day workshop, which actually ends up being a week is actually free and the most generous offering I have ever seen in the normally ‘competitive and cutthroat world of art’
So, as you know I don’t normally post these things…but I just figured…what if my friend hadn’t told me? Where would my life and my work be today?
This is a very concise, powerful workshop on Value, Design and Color. Its just simply an amazing opportunity to improve your Art and in turn…I might add, your life.
