There are some days that make you sad each year. So what I do is to invite people to come to see my garden, to share in the joy it delivers each year, the first week in May. There have been rhododendrons in bloom since the beginning of March, but this week is always spectacular. Such beauty is meant to be shared. Gardens bring down the stress in people’s lives. A perfect remedy for sad days.

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.
