Someone told me about a worthy cause where, 100% of profits raised go directly to local grassroots not for profit organization Safe Place for Youth (SPY). And I immediately started making art to donate. How could I not? So this is the completed piece 20” x 24” acrylic on canvas. I wanted this piece toContinue reading “Art Supports”

Art Anxiety. Art Excitement.
Excitement! Anxiety. Excitement! I’m so honored to be invited to show my work. I believe I make art to share with the world by posting photos online, but recently I’ve received invitations by art galleries to show my art up-close and personal. Even before I began making art, I always appreciated being near it, somethingContinue reading “Art Anxiety. Art Excitement.”
My Art Journal: Onward
Back in July of 2019, before my work was showing anywhere… I’d hang it outside in my backyard & sit with it. Back then, I didn’t have any expectations. I had already been told by a NYC gallerist that I was an Outsider, and that my art would never be in a showing. I wasn’tContinue reading “My Art Journal: Onward”
Seeing ♥️ Art
We’re never too old to discover new ways of seeing the world around us 🌏 Case in point, it wasn’t until I completed an art crit class that I began to see words differently. For instance, I had never noticed the word inside the word — HeART 💜 Now, for sure, I had written andContinue reading “Seeing ♥️ Art”
Artists Support Art
During the recent “Art as Salve” artist reception, two high school students asked if I would come to their #CreativeMindsEvent on April 30th: Of course I said yes. My motto:“Never pass a kid’s lemonade stand without buying something.” Five years ago, my ambition to support youth ventures lit up the NASDAQ. It’s something that I’mContinue reading “Artists Support Art”
My Art Journey… Continued
Not so long ago, I began to share my art journey. Today, I thought I’d continue to share my foray into the art world, as it returned me to a state of hopefulness that my illness had taken away. By the middle of 2019, I had begun to connect the dots in my life andContinue reading “My Art Journey… Continued”
My Amazing Day
Life is amazing. I know, because I have more life behind me than what’s up ahead. And I was just thinking, how when I was a kid the simplest things made me happy. Like, if I woke up and the sun was out and shining. That made me happy, that was it. That was allContinue reading “My Amazing Day”
Thoughtful. Artful. Humbled
My life has been quite a journey. I assure you, if anyone was silly enough to want to write a book about my life, there would be no need for fictionalization. It has been an amazing ride! Of course, some of the names would have to be changed to protect the writer, but the dramaContinue reading “Thoughtful. Artful. Humbled”
Art of a Moment
I haven’t made many abstracts. But this is one of my personal favorites, as it represents both what’s quickly lost, but also that which is remembered and longed for, thoughts that are renamed memories. I’m so honored & proud to have this painting selected to be displayed on a digital billboard in Boston’s busy DownTownContinue reading “Art of a Moment”
