I create art that reflects an upbeat approach to life. The different ideas I have suggest various forms of expression, which is why even my cartoons tend to be mixed media in nature. My various artworks focus on the seeming simplicities but underlying complexities of life, by presenting the viewer with illusions and other puzzles, all nestled within a naive art style. Head, as well as heart, are engaged. In addition to creating my art, I teach workshops and classes.
