What do you do when you have a bad photo of a beachside picnic table and BBQ grill? Turn it into a lovely place where one can get some piece of mind!

I’m not sure why I created Fury – I’m usually a pretty mellow guy. Something must have been going on in my own brain, though, and seeing this completed made me think I might need to see a therapist.

One-Way Conversation was inspired by the events leading up to and including the unfortunate events of November, 2016.

Sensory Overload is my representation of overwhelm of light, smells, and sound experienced by the autistic mind.

Ideas can get so frozen in a person’s mind that it becomes impossible to adapt to a changing world.

After such pieces as Fury and Self-Inflicted, I decided I needed to lighten up a bit and create something a bit more positive. Inner Light was the result.

Self doubt and self incrimination are nasty emotions that are suffered most by those who least deserve it.

I didn’t have a plan when starting this piece. I just started adding color and texture, but as the brain seemed to get wrapped in plastic, the spikes to add more protection just seemed to come naturally.

I created Creativity to convey the thought that artistic expression cannot be contained, be it photography, painting, writing, or any other artistic expression.
