For the last 35 years that I’ve been creating and maintaining my garden, I’ve taken many thousands of photos. In my Mac Photos app, I have sorted them into garden photos, flower photos, closeups of flowers and then into closeups of individual flowers. This collection is the backbone of my art. It is the inspiration behind all my paintings. Now that I’m planning my next painting, I again returned to my collection for inspiration. 

These daily studio notes lead toward my 2026 solo exhibitions in New York City and  Poughkeepsie, NY.
