This week is going to be busy. I’m getting ready to deliver the artwork to the Locust Grove Solo Exhibition on Sunday. I’m working on the site layout and planning stages plus the paperwork that I need to provide them. Logistically, they are not at all near me, I’m on Long Island and Poughkeepsie is upstate NY, about a 3-hour drive if I’m lucky. This means that everything has been organized remotely which adds a nice piece of complication to the project.

In the studio, I continue to play with color combinations on the Magnolia painting. I have no particular vision I’m working towards, so it is a nice experimental endeavor. Out of my comfort zone, which is a nice growth opportunity for me.

This is a daily journal of my creative efforts as I prepare for my Solo exhibition at Locust Grove in Poughkeepsie, NY, from June 5 – September 15, 2026 and my November exhibition in Chelsea, New York City.
