I have been an enthusiastic collector of art since my late adolescence. Then I slowly lost most of my central vision during the 1980’s and 90’s, eventually becoming legally blind. I could no longer enjoy the art I’d collected.

Inspired by a TV demonstration, I searched the internet for bold, high-contrast works that I could see. The paintings of Romero Britto captured my sight and my heart, and I copied two of his images onto my ratty-looking kitchen cupboard doors. Then, mimicking Brito’s style, I looked out my kitchen window and tried to paint what I sawimagined of the flower boxes on my deck on two more doors.

From the year 2000 on, I’ve been making art I can see, trying to capture the little moments in the lives of people and their animals from my rather skewed perspective. My work has sold to private collectors in the US and in Europe.

A frequent comment about my work is, “This is happy art” I couldn’t be more pleased. ...
