There is no doubt that happy starfish are taking over my booth these days. The most frequently heard comment is “I can’t explain it, they just make me smile”.

     I will continue to paint waves, herons, egrets, pet portraits and various other subjects that have kept me busy over the years, but the starfish will occupy a special place in my art career. We have had tears, hugs, spontaneous dance and emotional stories break out at the sight of these starfish paintings. I can’t ignore it and will embrace it going forward. There are starfish prints in far away places like Italy, Australia and Israel. I wish I could tell you I planned it that way. I didn’t. It just happened. I hope all of you enjoy my art whatever your reason.
