A great memory is having my art at Santa Barbara City Hall for almost a decade – from around 2006 until August 2016, encompassing several mayors and city council members over many years. My artwork “Voting Booth” was the first thing a visitor to the Santa Barbara Mayor & City Council office would see when entering the office (see the artwork on the square wall). The artwork was accompanied by an explanation of what the art meant:

THANK YOU SANTA BARBARA FOR ALL YOU’VE DONE FOR MY ART!
Spanish Rose celebrates the lively romance of the Spanish dance. This work was inspired by Flamenco dancing first, but as I researched Spanish dance I learned that there is much more to Spanish dancing – including Bolero, Fandango, Paso doble, Sevillana, Muñeira, Jota Aragonesa, Sardana, and Zambra, so there is a bit of all of that inspiring this artwork. I had so much fun creating this. I wanted to create a scene that was full of movement and rich reds. The triangles are meant to represent the taps of the dancing feet. It was a challenge to create the two men in just the right size and position relative to the woman, and I love the heart shape the trio creates. Spanish Rose was created in 2016.
