Art has always been an emotional compass for me. My childhood was full of traveling, born in New York then moved to Cleveland, Texas, and now Michigan. After shining black and brown shoes in dark bars at a young age, I would hide my shoeshine box in the bushes close to the Cleveland Art Museum and go inside to explore the world of art. Museums became a sanctuary of creativity, and I was mesmerized by the myriad of colors. My doctoral work as a psychologist helped me appreciate even more profoundly the emotional reactions to colors and creativity. The map of painting more than 30 years started with embarking on an extraordinary global odyssey, immersing myself in the study of art and diverse colorful artistic traditions of every museum I could visit in 54 countries. My artistic journey has been an ongoing adventure with no end. My goal as an artist is not merely to depict subjects but to evoke a spectrum of emotions through the vibrant use of color. Each painting serves as a dynamic palette designed to elicit and reflect the viewers’ emotional response, with them completing the painting in their minds. Recently, one of the paintings received significant recognition gracing the cover of the American Psychologist. There was a three-month retrospective exhibition in Cleveland, offering a comprehensive artistic evolution. In addition, paintings have been displayed in art galleries in Saugatuck, Cleveland, Chicago, and Detroit and multiple juried art shows in Louisville, Petoskey, Lakewood, and other venues captivating and engaging viewers with compelling and thought-provoking art creations. Each painting creates a personal psychological connection captivating the senses. As an artist and psychologist, I believe colors awaken conscious and unconscious recollections for the viewer. My goal is to cultivate and stimulate visual inspirations with multilayered colors, assimilated by the viewer’s unique emotional palette. Each color re-creates reactions and transforms the past and present, inspiring future colors for associations and imparting joy.
