I create many of my more colorful pieces of art by drawing from areas near my childhood home in California and places I travel with John and my family . I touch the red soil in Australia , feel the turquoise waters of New Zealand , smell the open street markets of Paris , taste the fresh fish of Pike Place Market in Seattle , hear the violin of Itzhak Perlman in concert , and see the sunsets of Santa Fe , NM , and it all meshes with wax and pigment and becomes art . It ’ s fantastic !
