“The nature of life is to come together for a short beautiful period, then fall apart to go make other beauty.” Making art and observations is like this. Sometimes you get a clean perception while other times you don’t. 

Living in Florida, I am drawn to nature’s constant coming together and falling apart. The beauty is quieter here, revealed only when you get close. It is not the same as the majestic Colorado Rockies or the wind-swept northwest coast. On Florida’s west coast, there is sugary white sand, turquoise water, and a warm tropical breeze. And there are always new restaurants, bars, hotels, and beaches waiting to be explored. 

Beauty, it seems, is transitory. Like many people, I am constantly making sense of change with art and writing.

 This website is dedicated to my wife and daughters, who have helped me embrace change and make sense of it.
