View From a LALATOWN Window
Almost every painting I create contains a window.
Sometimes I am looking out. Sometimes I am looking in.
To me, windows are little portals — small openings that lead to another possibility, another story, or another day.
Many years ago, during long nights spent waiting in hospital hallways, I found myself staring out of windows and imagining places filled with warmth, laughter, flowers, good food, and gentle neighbors.
Those places eventually became LALATOWN.
This series is a collection of windows into that world.
Each one holds a different season, a different mood, and a different dream.
Some are quiet. Some are cheerful. Some smell suspiciously like fresh bread and strawberry sherbet.
But they all lead to the same place:
A town built from kindness, imagination, and the small everyday wonders that help us find our way home.
