Fireworks This body of work represents some of the visual beauty experienced while visiting major cities around the world. I have been interested in fireworks displays and the excitement of the colors and spectacles taking place at these many festivals. The sheer delight at these illuminations in the black sky, and these wonderful explosions of colors provide endless wonder for me. |

Historical I recently attended an artist-in-residence program in Budapest, Hungary To study for an extended time in a beautiful city has been a desire of mine for several years. I stayed on the Pest side of the Danube River, not far from the Parliament, overlooking The Chain Bridge. Many bridges cross the Danube to the Buda side, and at night they are lit up dramatically. |

Sports I became interested in the art of boxing when, by chance, I met a two-time Golden Glove champion. He proceeded to tell me about some of the youths who come to him for training. Beyond athletic training they receive some of the elements missing in their home life: attention, guidance and self-discipline. |
