A Visit to Sarasota Mote Aquarium
Where does inspiration come from? Sometimes it’s found in unexpected places — even beneath the surface of the sea.
Seeing in Color
I’ve always been drawn to color — the way it mixes, overlaps, and shifts depending on the light. Sitting on these colorful Talavera-tiled stairs on Anna Maria Island reminded me how much the world itself feels like a palette. Blues, yellows, reds, and greens blending together in unexpected ways. As someone who enjoys painting, I often find inspiration in moments like this. The colors around us, the way they interact, and the quiet beauty in everyday scenes often find their way back into my work. Sometimes all it takes is slowing down and noticing how the world is already mixing colors for us.
