How do you use color to express yourself?<\/strong>
Clothes, facial products, food and drink consumption (especially with fresh fruit).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do you feel about colors in your environment?<\/strong>
Inspired by aged greys and greens in NYC cityscapes, worship color in all nature.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does color affect you?<\/strong>
How does color not affect me?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Color is pure mood.”<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

How do you think about color in regards to your work?<\/strong>
More of a feeling, then thoughts come after. Color is pure mood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s a work of art or media where color impacted or inspired you?<\/strong>
Kandinsky, Two-Face the supervillian, Buffalo 66, Albrecht D\u00fcrer Turf watercolor, Patricia Arquette in Lost Highway, Dali for Playboy, Picasso’s “Woman Seated”, Jamie Wyeth “A Very Small Dog”,  I could go on for hours…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why are you crushing on our Gecko in particular? <\/strong>
Gecko represents growth, chlorophyll, life, and self-sufficiency for me : ) <\/p>\n\n\n\n
