This Is What I’ve Been Talking About on Instagram Lately
On Instagram, I write about my life as an artist. Behind the scenes in the studio, preparing for art exhibitions, marketing opportunities, my garden inspirations, artist friends and my artistic journey.
You can follow all my posts here or follow me on Instagram. I also post to Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Threads and YouTube.
My artist page on the Ceres Website looks bright and cheerful in these winter dark times. I`m so happy that I`ve been juried into this NYC Chelsea based women`s feminist art gallery. It`s been an over 45 year goal of mine. Finally made it. Don`t ever give up! Put one foot in front of the other, even on days you don`t feel the inspiration and over time you will have made progress to your goals!

There are days when paying attention and seeing the beauty surrounding you lifts your listless spirits.

Say hello to Cosmic Peony Power. She’s my latest oil painting ready to get in the car to travel to her first public appearance at an upcoming art show at the Art League of Long Island at the end of the month. She sure looks bigger than her 30x30” size, don’t you think?

And here we go again. First painting of 2025 is on the easel with the first coat of underpainting. With three solo shows in 2025-2026 I will surely be very busy and I`m hoping you`ll stay along for the ride. I`m excited by all the possibilities that await our journey! Aren`t you!

I have been keeping a journal every single day for years. Based upon the lessons I learned from Matthew Dicks and his Homework for Life, I found that writing each day helped me to recognize so much about who I am, what I do, and who and what I surround myself with. It helps me to appreciate each and every day of my life. I dropped the over 70,000 words from last year`s journal into the Wordcloud website, and it distilled my writing into this cool graphic. Each one of these words figured multiple times throughout the year. Each of them speaks to my heart and soul. What a great memory!

This gorgeous orange hibiscus is blooming on the shrub I bring indoors each fall to let it overwinter in the house. She goes outdoors again in the spring to spend the summer on my deck. It`s the plant that keeps giving. The succulent prints on the wall behind her are from my digital imaging series. They`re printed on canvas and framed in black wood. The gray matte is also digital, a great illusion that enhances the succulent images.

Great way to start the new year is buying evergreens for 50% off. They make me so happy in winter in their cheerful pots and then I plant them in the very early spring in my garden. Where they continue to make me happy. Thanks Home Depot.

The season is official now. My grandson CJ has decorated the Tree. Since he was hanging his binky on the tree, he arrives each holiday season to decorate the tree with a lifetime of memories. We cherish all these moments!
