“I travel a great deal for inspiration. This is a bird’s-eye view of a village at the border of Italy and Austria. Initially there was no ‘snow’ in this painting. But after an amazing confetti shower during a Flaming Lips concert in Oakland, California, I returned to my studio the next day and added the dots of ‘snow,’ taking the painting to one of the unexpected places I am always searching for—melding two moments of interest into one.”
