“Beautiful Life” - This image is about optimism, appreciating life and nurturing your curiosity.

This has been a theme in my work for awhile and one that continues to inspire me. My mother, the flower in this illustration, was a very optimistic person that always facilitated my curiosity and encouraged me to explore .. probably one of the main reasons I am now living in South America.  She was incredibly unconventional and taught me that there are many ways to go about solving a problem… she had no reservations about taking an alternative route. She hung maps of the world upside-down to make the point there is no upside-down or right-side up in outer space. She would use the coffeemaker to cook her oatmeal because she could put the oatmeal in the coffee pot the night before, fill the coffeemaker with water, set the timer and in the morning she would have her oatmeal waiting for her. My friends and I would wait for her to pick us up at the Bencia Skateboard Park and she would arrive with a car load of elderly people that she decided to take on an impromptu field trip.
