Do you remember your excitement the first time you cut an apple differently and found the star?

My art explores keeping that wonder. Colorful, whimsical art, fabric and surface design. 

"A New Day, Ocean Sunrise"

Focus on the horizon, find the ocean, and the explosion of color becomes an ocean sunrise. A new day!

While experimenting with poured paint on a large canvas, a sunrise appeared. The finished painting reminded me of glorious sunrises I've photographed at Vero Beach, Florida. I photographed the canvas and designed a poster.

You may not see what I see in this explosion of color, but the may the memory of an ocean sunrise bring you joy. Focus on your horizon.
