Welcome to 2012 ~ Goals, Aspirations & New Movement!

January 3, 2012

I am super excited about starting a new year. What a great feeling it is to have a clean plate before me, to start life new in a way. I feel so much buoyancy and momentum within me, even though it’s Winter and I’m usually slow and low this time of year. ;)
I can feel [...]

Ready, Set > Create!

October 24, 2011

I recently installed these 6 pieces in the home of a client, they are from the Biography Series.
I have been struggling with having enough time to dedicate to my art lately. I was so sure that once my kids were in school that I would have more space to be creative. Ironically, life seems to [...]

Art, the Boa Constrictor & Letting Go

September 2, 2011

I’ve been taking a vacation from my art for the past few weeks. I needed to gain some perspective. I just got to the place where I felt like “this is not working!” and that I did not want to go on if “things were going to be like this.”

Art Is An Act of Faith

May 19, 2011

“Artists are visionaries. We routinely practice a form of faith, seeing clearly and moving toward a creative goal that shimmers in the distance – often visible to us, but invisible to those around us. … Art is an act of faith, and we practice practicing it. Sometimes we are called on pilgrimages on its behalf [...]

April 18, 2011

I went to New York last weekend to be present for opening night of “The World Adventure” group show at Cornell St. Studios in Kingston. My friend Barbara Nahemow went with me. I had a truly fabulous time. Really, from beginning to end.
What made my trip so wonderful?
So many things. And I have to [...]

The Alive-ness of a Painting

September 29, 2010

Sometimes I become constricted by fear when painting: fear of moving with the natural flow of the piece – fear I won’t like it, fear that I’ll do it wrong. Fear that they won’t like it (whoever they are).
I’m generally hesitant when in this state, hemming and hawing, “what should I do?”, “oh, is [...]

Expanding Artistic Operations

September 23, 2010

For the past 3 1/2 years I’ve had adjacent studio and office space carved out of the extensive lower-level of my home. I’m in the process of moving my office (read: computer) upstairs. I need the distraction of the computer out of my creative space and I also want the room to expand artistic operations!! [...]

The White Series

August 5, 2010

After completing the DaSilva Commission, I had the sense that I was more open inside, that I had gotten bigger in terms of what I could contain artistically. I felt that I was ready to create in series of paintings, i.e. to create several works of art around a single theme or idea.
