It’s a busy night in the Chelsea art district on the first Thursday of each month when all the galleries in this arts district have Opening Receptions. I hired a bartender to handle the wine so I could concentrate on speaking with the visitors. A steady stream of interested, knowledgeable people came through and spent considerable time looking at and discussing the art. It’s one of my most favorite parts of an exhibition, talking to people about art, their ideas, interpretations, and responding to their questions which always range over a wide range of subjects. After the gallery closed, I walked back to the Moynihan Station on the High Line, then through Hudson Yards, where I caught a great shot of the Empire State Building. It was a magical evening.

I began this daily journal in February, 2026 as I prepared for solo and group shows in 2026 and 2027.
My solo multi-disciplinary exhibition titled “Centering in the Midst of Chaos” will be on view at the Ceres Gallery in Chelsea, New York City, November 3 – 28, 2026.
featuring digital artwork, oil paintings, and a multimedia installation.
