Most of us have ridden a Merry-Go-Round or Carousel and have been enchanted by the music and ponies as they leap up and down. We marvel at the faces on our children as they experience the same wonder. At age 5 I felt like a real cowboy and to this day haven't changed much. I never new I would one day have the power to bring my pony alive in Carousel Joe, a true abstract interpretation of my childhood memories.
