Riding the subway. Going fast and still arriving late. Growing up, we went everywhere together. You wouldn’t know that my family didn’t own a car or that my mother couldn’t drive. Rocking and rattling along and yelling to be heard over the sound of metal wheels flying along steel tracks, defying gravity! *I enjoyed paintingContinue reading “Art Arrival. On Time”

Hopeful Art
Sometimes women leave. It isn’t always planned. Some pass away. Others make career moves. Some are post-partum & challenged. And some, some women just hang up their red dress and leave. That’s when a dad becomes more than a man. He’s strong, he’s resilient and he’s present. So he cooks like mommy use to do.Continue reading “Hopeful Art”

Yes, Art Can Make Us Smile
Hot Damn! It’s happening, tomorrow my solo exhibition will be installed on Billboard Hope!!! When I was a kid, I used to walk past this billboard in Boston’s historical John Elliot Square, almost every day. Back then the ad space was used to sell negatives, like cigarettes and alcohol. And as you might imagine, theyContinue reading “Yes, Art Can Make Us Smile”
Art & My Three Sons
I’ve no interest in putting people into pigeon holes. Aside from the obvious, that is they don’t fit, it’s also extremely boring. People are people and maybe it really is as simple as that.
Paint Positive
I woke up to this headline and smiled. That’s what it does. And that’s the response I want to illicit when people see my art. Even if it’s only a little smile. After a pandemic the goal should be simply to co-exist, to get along and every once in a while to smile. When IContinue reading “Paint Positive”
The Outsider Artist Within
This morning I received news of Outsider Art, not labeling me as such, but nonetheless bringing attention to the fact that I haven’t attended art school. (Full disclosure, I don’t have an MBA, no MFA and I haven’t spent hours studying the human form or still life.) “Outsider Art” is defined on Wikipedia as “OutsiderContinue reading “The Outsider Artist Within”
Wall Art
A wall is meant to do more than just hold up your ceiling & divide rooms. There’s something magical about waking up & looking at a handsome wall. If you don’t have art hanging on your walls, go & make some, or buy some. But do get some. I promise you, it’ll change your life.Continue reading “Wall Art”
The Art Called Vinyl
I vividly recall the first time my brother let me hold one of his most beloved possessions, a record. He carefully instructed me on the proper handling- how I was to cradle the album by the edges. That it was sacrilege to touch its surface, as the oils from my skin would ruin it. IContinue reading “The Art Called Vinyl”
Laptop Backpack Art
Anxiety at the airport should be limited to the act of flying. And the fear of flying shouldn’t include trying to locate your carry-on laptop bag, after being randomly pulled out of line and searched by TSA at the airport’s security checkpoints. Because being separated from your laptop bag for just few minutes, shouldn’t feelContinue reading “Laptop Backpack Art”
