The fabric swatches I ordered have arrived. This is for the installation project I’m designing for my upcoming show in November. I’m thinking of having my artwork printed on fabric and using that instead of the curtain that came with the frame I ordered. These printable fabrics come a wide variety of material and weights. Some are sheer and see-through and others thick and opaque. Once I decide on the fabric and the cost of printing, I’ll decide if this part of the installation is feasible. Lots of steps yet to go. I’m enjoying the process, it’s very creative since there are so many variables.

I began this daily journal in February, 2026 as I prepared for three exhibitions. My solo exhibition, “Portraits From My Garden” at Locust Grove in Poughkeepsie, NY, on view from June 5 – September 15, 2026, and my work that was on view in the June, 2026 group show, “Raising Women’s Voices” in Chelsea, NYC.

My next solo exhibition titled “Centering in the Midst of Chaos” will be at the Ceres Gallery in Chelsea, New York City, November 3 – 28, 2026.
