Ever feel like you’re pulled in many directions at once? Things you want to do. How you want to spend your time? This is my time of the year for a target-rich environment. I’m in the studio, working on paintings for upcoming exhibitions. But, at the same time, Mother Nature isn’t waiting for me. My garden is in full, all-out peak viewing season. I love the spring. It gives me such a wonderful feeling of optimism and new opportunities. The colors are a feast for the eyes and make me happy to be alive. The lemon greens in the new foliage are affecting the color palette I’m working with in my studio. I hope everyone can take a moment to stop what they’re doing and look around them for something that is joyous and uplifting.

This is a daily journal of my creative efforts as I prepare for my June 2026 solo exhibition in Poughkeepsie, NY, and my November exhibition in Chelsea, New York City.
