Making our way in life is a feat of learning and experiences. And what we accomplish depends on what we learn from those experiences.

I created this painting, Making Your Way, to express how difficult it is to first find what your true passion is in life and then fulfill it.

 

 

My paintings are personal expressions of what I have learned in life. And it is my wish that they speak to you and they give you the encouragement and/or inspiration to continue on your path no matter how long it takes.

My life has been filled with learned experiences, most which have defined who I am today. It has been a wild ride with decisions I have had to make that stalled fulfilling the passion of my life. Becoming a full time fine artist was my dream since my late teens.

But because I had to make a living for the good of my young family, I chose a profession that was as close to my passion as possible, that of a commercial artist. As a professional illustrator, I was still using acrylic paint to create my illustrations. And as a graphic designer I was improving my eye every day when designing magazines and layouts.

I don’t regret all the different paths and decisions I had to make to finally become a full time fine artist. Of course I wish I didn’t have to wait so long but I finally got there.

 

It is truly wonderful when you can finally pursue your purpose in life. My path was not a straight line and there were obstacles I had to overcome but I got there.

 

And you can too.  Don’t give up on your dreams.

How do you gain some relief from all the stress surrounding us as we travel through our days?

 

I don’t mean to depress you further but fires, drought, hurricanes, a Pandemic, climate crisis events, wars…the news shares our world as it is dominated by disasters. 

 

Add to that taking care of family, making a living, isolating and paying for the bills when we are going through a Pandemic and economic hardships!

 

 

FYI: You can view each painting and it’s information by clicking on its red bold name below each photo.

 

 

Let’s see if we can relieve some of your pressure with colorful, playful, joyful, meaningful modern abstract art in your life.

When I create my paintings using acrylic and collage, they always turn out very colorful and cheerful. There isn’t anything that I can do to make them otherwise. It is an innate part of my style and voice.

 

 

Doesn’t this make you feel better seeing it in the kitchen where we spend a lot of time preparing meals?

People viewing my art always say that they immediately feel happy when they look at my canvases.

 

And here in the bedroom where we begin and end each day. There is no better place to have that stress melt away.

It brings me so much happiness to know that my paintings can help bring some relief from the pressures of everyday life when they view my art.

 

And, Who Doesn’t Love Spring?, a delightful painting that brings that feeling you get when Spring is in the air and upon you. Can you feel it? New growth, new beginnings…

 

   

 

What does this painting do for you over your desk? Hopefully it gives you that same feeling of delight and happiness that a new Spring day does. That it is possible to do anything and make it work today.

Consider adding some playful, colorful, contemporary abstract art in your home and/or office to relieve the stress around your life. And you can always order an art print if you aren’t ready for original art ownership. Ask the artist if they offer prints and start there.

To purchase a print of any original painting on my website, just email me the painting name and I will email you a link. It is as easy as that. From there you can see the sizes available and the prices.
