Artist Statement
The world around us is full of wonder, especially when we’re young. This painting, Happy Wanderer, was inspired by one of my great-grandsons as he explored a wide expanse of sandy beach. One can only imagine what adventures were going on in his mind as he rambled back and forth, a little smile playing on his face. I hope this scene brings you joy and perhaps reminds you of a time or place where you were filled with wonder!
