He has had solo exhibitions at Edward Cella Art & Architecture, Los Angeles,…

A “green” product is environmentally friendly, while a jealous person is “green with envy.” We associate yellow with springtime—sunshine, daffodils, and baby chicks—yet also know it as an indication of low-level threats in color-coded alert systems.
