Colour and Form

J. Franklin Wright Gallery:

Colour and Form are two elements of Fine Art. These two elements make up all my work and are the basis for the University classes I teach. When I was first taught the extent of what you could do with them is when I first fell in love with painting. I knew I wanted to make it my career to show others how to use them. While the title is simple, to me they are the foundation of my work, my classes, and mean everything.
