‘I’ve always been an artist from as early as I can remember. I sold my first painting at the age of eight years old. It was about that time that my Dad decided I needed a better artist signature for my paintings. He came up with the spelling of my name. Many decades post, I still sign my paintings that way.”

“As big as my house is, I can only sit in one chair at a time.”    (Russell Simmons, Do You, 2007)

Visiting an antique store, there they stood. At every corner and turn, chairs of various shapes and sizes, like puppies in the pet shop, screaming, “ Take me! Pick me!”

As I walked past these pre-owned treasures, they seemed to hold the energy of people long gone and decades past.

We each have our own chair at the dinner table, office, school or church. We select it, claim it and specify where it is to reside. To be without it is disrupting to our balance. We often hold on to the chair even when it’s old and tattered, like a precious old friend.

Our chair gives us comfort. We give our chair a small part of our soul.

My chair is red. What is color is yours?
