This is the week we open our annual group show, Raising Women’s Voices at the Ceres Gallery in Chelsea NY. I took the Long Island Railroad into Penn Station and then walked to the gallery along the Highline. A group of us hung the show in a few hours since we all know our particular roles. Group shows are notoriously difficult to hang since you have to consider a variety of aspects when deciding placement, it’s not something you can plan for in advance. You think in terms of color, size, scale, and subject matter in order to determine the best placement so each of the works is shown to its best advantage. I don’t generally like to make those decisions, I’d rather be the person with the hammer and nails. I was too busy unfortunately to take photos at the install, but here are some snippets of the show.

I began this daily journal in February, 2026 as I prepared for my solo exhibition at Locust Grove in Poughkeepsie, NY, from June 5 – September 15, 2026, my work for the group show at the Ceres Gallery in from June 23. to July 18, 2026, and my upcoming November 2026, solo exhibition in Chelsea, New York City
