2005

After graduating from Sac State in 2004 I went back to school in Merced and took a painting class. Here's something that I came up with after being inspired by the color blue and brown. I was reading in a magazine about colors and how we sometimes go through phases where we want to wear a certain color or buy a lot of things in that color. At this time I was trying to figure out what to do with my life (with a BA in Studio Art). Phthalo blue was so appealing to me in its intensity. The magazine said you should surround yourself with this color if you want to realize your dreams. Someone bought the painting at an art show for $300. She said it reminded her of flowers.
