ON April 21, 2019 I ran a interactive session to present my Color Bridges theory of harmonic color and how it can be created and used to enhance or lift our moods and environment.

I wrote aRead More

I was recently happily juried into the Hawaii Watercolor Society Open Juried Show with respected  juror Don Andrews.
