As an artist who regularly visits these fragile ecosystems, I have become aware of my responsibility toward them. When I paint a tidepool, I'm not just creating art. I am documenting something that may change or disappear as our oceans warm and acidify.I am a witness to the change.
Creating art is a profession of hope. Every time I set up my easel at the edge of these fields, I'm betting on something beautiful emerging. This landscape isn't static. The fields are in constant change with the elements. The patterns show cultivation while the dramatic sky suggests nature's unpredictable response
Thinking about and watching the NCAA's Final Four during March Madness reminded me of this basketball painting I created for the NBA, Orlando Magic; Amway Sports Arena. My painting "Venice Street Players" captures the raw energy and creativity of basketball games on Venice Beach's famous courts. These courts, known from the "White Men Can't Jump," movie are special to me. I spent a lot of time around them when my girlfriend (now my wife) lived in Venice, California.
