About this artwork

In this vibrant creation, I poured my fascination with motion and energy into every stroke. The urban pulse and whimsical dance of colors reflect a dynamic cityscape within Tokyo's Yamanote Train Line circle. It's an abstraction of life's bustling rhythm, urging observers to embrace the chaotic beauty of existence. Its boldness will inject an inspiring and invigorating spirit into any space.

This painting honors the amazing Yamanote Line. It is… the green train line that goes round and round and circles inner city Tokyo. It was the train line I used most frequently during my 5 years in beautiful Japan. This painting vibrantly celebrates the street crossings of Ginza, the multiple train tracks in Shinagawa, the cherry blossoms of Meguro, dancing in Harajuku, tall buildings of Shinjuku and Ikebukoro, the Imperial Palace and bridge, Tokyo Tower, the many small buildings and shops, and more.

I am a bestselling polymath painter. My floral art is based on actual medical/scientific studies on health and happiness. In 2024, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine interviewed me for my “happy” art and my book, 100 Days Of Happy Happy Art, Evidence-Based Design. My art was also on the Jan/Feb 2025 cover of Healthcare Design Magazine.

By 2050, an estimated 70% of the world’s population will live in cities. My Smart City Art series promotes this planet-healing idea. I also worked in Tokyo as an English rewriter for the anime/animation industry, which included working on a Studio Ghibli film before it got sold to Disney. I believe this influence comes out in my Smart City Art abstracts. In 2026, I will be going to China for three months to paint beautiful Shanghai and sustainability.

I also love creating commissioned art. I love combining my art talent with a client's vision to create a new work of art. It's challenging but so much fun!
