What is it about this group that enchants me so much that despite the traffic jams on Route One all summer, I continue to look forward to exhibiting with them? They are just a fun group of crazy (and accomplished artists)

Come see our summer exhibitions and get a good sense of how art should be

2016 BOOK – Painting the Impressionistic Landscape in Watercolor and Acrylic DUE DATE OCTOBER 2016 This is an important year for me, as my book will be published by Rockport Publishers, NYNY. Both Amazon and Barnes and Nobles are listing it as a new release. I am feeling sky-high. New opportunities to produce and exhibit my artwork are revealing themselves. I am also involved with the wonderful Wild Apple Graphic Fine Art Publishers. This is a wonderful vital International art publishing company. I am so grateful.

2015 PRESENTED me with the wonderful opportunity to author a book of my artwork and my teaching techniques for Rockport Publishing. What a remarkable opportunity. My calm and hardworking NYC editor and my art school BFF Karen Hill (who is doing the photography for the book ) are making this the best experience I could imagine. I am loving it. Hopefully book will be published in 2016

2014 and 2015 BOTH were busy family years and that showed up with even more artistic energy in the studio. I seem to be more interested in layering patterns, perpetually inspired by Asian Art, ikabana and kimonos and recently.. suddenly, by the opulent unapologetic patterns of Klimpt and Hundertwasser. I continue to get a lot of my art work out to Corporations, hospitals and hotels and now have original paintings all over the United States in the Macy’s Collections. Thrilling. I am anticipating a great year of business success and artistic growth.
2013 DURING the summer of 2013 I began to revisit a more physical gestural approach to my florals using oil and acrylic as well as watercolor. I am inspired by the expressionist semi abstract painters of the sixties as I continue to refine my sense of color to more vibrant combinations and emphasis on transitions between passages. Thematically I attempt to unravel my fascination with the garden..whether it is a hidden sanctuary or a metaphor, or both.
