A few years ago I set out on an epic creative adventure. I began a series called Cosmic Fish in which I created original characters with a writing component. Each painting was of a different Cosmic Fish – aliens inspired by sea creatures – who go from galaxy to galaxy gobbling up planets. Every Cosmic […]
Read more "Meet Seymour!"While I was out-and-about this weekend, I overheard someone nearby exclaim, “This meal looks so amazing, I just have to take a picture!” I think it is safe to say that at some point in our modern lives we have all shared in this same excitement… to be so in awe of a meal that […]
Read more "Still Lifes – Then & Now"Monday concluded my first class as an instructor with the Rollins Center for Lifelong Learning. It was an incredibly positive experience for which I am truly grateful. For four weeks we discussed Frida Kahlo – her life, her work and how we perceive her as a person and as an artist. Together we shared our opinions, […]
Read more "Rollins Center for Lifelong Learning"The original Muppet Babies animated show debuted in September of 1984. However, the public got their first glimpse of the Muppets as babies in the film “The Muppets Take Manhattan” which debuted that summer. In that film, Miss Piggy daydreams about what it would have been like if they had all known each other as […]

Read more "Baby Kermit"A bit of sadness… On Saturday I presented my last lecture on Vincent van Gogh for a while. I am grateful to everyone who attended this lecture over the last seven months, whether in Winter Garden or Mount Dora, Florida. “Loving Vincent” did not win the Oscar Sunday night, but that was to be expected. […]
Read more "Your, Loving Vincent"The 1980’s are back and in a BIG way! Shows like “Stranger Things” and “G.L.O.W.” are pure 80’s and even film remakes, like “It,” shift the story’s time period from the 1960’s to the 1980’s. The love for the 80’s is everywhere – especially in design – if you take the time to look for […]
Read more "The 1980’s"Whenever I present my lecture, “The Legacy of Vincent van Gogh,” I include a very telling and insightful exercise. First, I have the guests in attendance look at Van Gogh’s paintings “Starry Night” and “Sunflowers.” Then I ask them to shout out words describing how those paintings make them feel. I hear words like “cheerful,” […]
Read more "Starry, Starry Night"Calling all Marvel fans! It’s the moment we’ve all been waiting for since T’Challa’s debut in “Captain America: Civil War”… “Black Panther” comes out tomorrow!
