Fine Art

Before the digital revolution, there was fine art and commercial art. Fine art was where it all started for me. This website is a glimpse into my journey.

“Lotuses In Winter” triggered unsettling responses in some people. It may have been Trypophobia, which is defined as the “fear of clustered holes like those of lotus seed pods.” I was drawn to the scene because I was intrigued by the fact that beautiful lotuses look so life-affirming at one time of the year, but quite eerie at a different time of year.
