As an avid gardener, and also a person with a degree in horticulture with a specialty in landscape design, I was so impressed with the gardens at the Getty in California. They are works of art, no less than the work hanging on the walls indoor in the museum. If you know my work, you may also know my affinity for circles. You can imagine how much my heart leapt for joy when I saw the spiral plantings in the pond garden designed by Robert Irwin. All my work is inspired by gardens, mine and others. Having just come to California from a blizzard in New York, which dumped a foot and a half of snow in my garden, these sights of spring made my heart sing for joy.

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