At last! These legs of my journey. It’s been a long two weeks, for real.People who know me, haven’t seen me. Close family members who once hugged me, have had to keep a distance. And in all this time… I haven’t painted. Well, I did paint over a few paintings, in a moment of franticContinue reading “Last Legs. Art Journey”

If you’re like me, then you remember playing on the swings. Pumping your legs and trying to go so high that you could touch the sky. You remember, don’t you? Yeah, you do 🙂 Remember how adults would say that you were too big for the swings, and that you were gonna break it? AndContinue reading “Swinging Art”

Woke up to this video & I’m floored! There’s a certain amount of love that we each need to survive in this world… and I’m feeling it. For real. So much gratitude, I’m about to burst. Thank you. Thank you 🙏❤️ @daniellaurent @Orange_Barrel @Targus @NewArt1977 @LoadingDockArts #Art #THANKYOU

From amateur status to professional, I have had difficulty redefining myself with a name that others have spent decades to become. “She Named Her Daughter Hope” was the first painting I ever sold. It was one of my first paintings to be exhibited. It was also my first showing at Piano Craft Gallery in BostonContinue reading “Calling Myself An Artist”

So this happened… Back in October 2021, I took a virtual art course @nyccritclub 👏💕 (my art presentation.) This class forever changed my life. It was informative, captivating, and supportive. It helped me understand the nuances of the art world and introduced me to some very talented artists with successful practices. Invited gallerists shared colorfulContinue reading “My #ThrowBackThursday Art”

Subways have always inspired me. Tethered in one place, I look at the passengers and try to imagine their lives, juxtaposed to my own. We strangers who are intricately connected while traveling underground. Oftentimes my mind wanders, lulled by the clickety-clack of the metal wheels racing along the metal tracks. My body sways unintentionally, untilContinue reading “That Kodak Moment and Art”

On My Way. So another exhibition is closing & I’m so honored to have been invited, “Who We Are” at the Loading Dock Gallery in Lowell, MA. On Wednesday a new Landscape exhibition will be opening. It looks awesome! 🙏 As for me, I’ve been moving slowly, but steadily in the art world. And althoughContinue reading “Come Ride With Me”

I was painting, when a dear friend called & asked, “Whatcha doing?” “I’m painting.” I answered. “Oh, Ok call me when you’re done.”A couple hours later, she called back. “You’re still painting?” she asked. “Yup,” I smiled & that was 6 years ago. You’re not going to believe what’s up next. Worth waiting for… #StillPaintingContinue reading “Me and My Work”

Art can be essential to good health, as well as maintaining good health, or a quality of life worth living. I know. Because, I live it each and every day. Soon, a lot more people are going to understand me, my art and my story. In a pivotal moment, I’ve decided to share more, toContinue reading “Art Pivotal To Health”

I was just thinking… What were you doing? Some people have been posting some pretty sad & divisive things here on LinkedIn And while I’m aware of free speech, I maintain the need for respect & decorum. With that being said… I won’t be doing business with a bunch of you. I won’t work withContinue reading “My Art Talks to Women”
