This piece is simply about the colors I love, and juxtapositions of complements, gradients and contrasts that impact the emotions of viewers. There are also varied textures that don't photograph well, to lend interest. I make the glowing pigment myself for maximum luminance, using mostly the light-absorbing mineral strontium aluminate. Excited by any visible light, it glows for 10-20 hours. Rechargeable up to 50 years. OSHA-rated toy safe. 30 times brighter than plastic ceiling stars (6000 millicandéla versus 320 mcd). My paintings are functional nightlights. This piece also features a couple other minerals for colors that glow less brightly and more briefly. The red, for example, is calcium sulfide (in a clear waterproof base so it doesn't smell like the gates of Hell.) It's glow disappears in a minute, like a will-o'-the-wisp.

The driving force of my art is curiosity. Each piece begins with the question “What if?” What if I use these colors, textures, materials, techniques, or objects together? Each work is a surprise package I get to slowly open. I study art, and in my head I divide the field between decorative art that people want in their homes, which is great, and “arty” art that is innovative, original, and sometimes gallery-worthy. I often fail but generally aim for the elusive territory between the two- attempting to create things pleasing to the eye that people might want to live with, while pushing out boundaries for both everyday and more sophisticated art lovers. A unique recurring feature of most of my work is the inclusion of photoluminescent strontium aluminate doped with rare earths. I make the pigments myself for maximum luminance. The works are thereby two compositions, one by day and a second, rather magical composition that appears at night. I employ super-bright child-safe minerals that shed light for 10 to 20 hours after exposure to any visible light, and that continue to be “re-excitable” for decades. I do not have a single style because my relentless curiosity leads me in many directions as I constantly explore new materials, tools, techniques, and “What if?” questions.
