I tell stories with my collages and paintings, colorful stories of joy that are not so much illustrations but an exuberant response to the wonders of life.  At the same time, before I begin painting, I often seriously research the details --botany, symbolism, color, Greek and Hebrew word meanings, history and customs.  Most of all, I paint COLOR! Joyous, wonderful color that this grey world needs, with a glimpse of the colorful world to come.
