News About my Art, Exhibitions, Events & Social Media Posts
This Is What I’ve Been Talking About on Instagram Lately
On Instagram, I write about my life as an artist. Behind the scenes in the studio, preparing for art exhibitions, marketing opportunities, my garden inspirations, artist friends and my artistic journey.
You can follow all my posts here or follow me on Instagram. I also post to Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Threads and YouTube.
End of an era. I have moved out of the Firefly Gallery on Main Street in Northport Village due to creative differences. Of course, all my artwork including my note cards is still available directly from me. If you are local and want to come to my studio to choose the work please go to my profile for the contact link. If you are interested in my work but not in proximity, all of my prints and paintings are available in my website shop. The link for that is also in my profile. I`m looking forward to the next step in my life`s journey! Stay tuned.

This is Day 8 of this colored pencil drawing of the purple daylily. I usually can`t draw for more than an hour and a half since I get hand cramps. But that is just the right amount of time, since studying color so closely, believe it or not, my eyes get tired too. I don`t let obstacles like that get in my way of creating, I just switch the way I work or what I`m working on.
DM. me if you are interested in owning this artwork. It is 5x5" on Stonehenge Fine Art Paper. $149. unframed. Domestic shipping is included.

There were women who stepped into my life’s journey that changed the course of my life at critical junctures that I only realized in hindsight. This is a tribute to the women who changed the trajectory of my life and what I`m doing now by paying it forward. Read the article on my Art Blog:

My latest article has just been published in Sanctuary Magazine. A magazine whose mission is: Empowering and Inspiring Women with Compelling Content. My article is titled: A Strategy to Embrace: Lifelong Learning.
I`m in my 70s and very excited since I`m back at school and taking a new class. We are so lucky now that there are many ways to continue learning. We can take classes in traditional, in-person settings, take online workshops, or pursue a hybrid balance. What a gift!
My pursuit of knowledge has always been eclectic. I study what I want and when I want (or need) to enhance the projects I`m working on. Not one to seek the traditional B.A., M.A., or Ph.D. stepping stones, I followed the lyrics made famous by Frank Sinatra, “I did it my way."

Rehung my wall at the Firefly Gallery to join in the Works on Paper show theme. All the giclées are prints of my original artwork. Some were oil paintins, some were watercolor, some were colored pencil and there`s also some digital imaging. A nice way to inexpensively bring happiness into your space. Stop by 90 Main Street in Northport Village to enjoy the entire show.

This is what I did this glorious weekend. Jones Beach bike riding. We only rode about 18 miles but it was so beautiful along the boardwalk out to West End 2 which is now a nature preserve. Even though it was 80 degrees there were very few people on the beach and almost no one once you got past fields 4 & 5. A day to just clear out the cobwebs of my mind and give me a fresh start. What did you do this weekend?

There’s nothing more calming than sitting in my studio quietly drawing whether it’s with graphite pencils, or colored pencils. I am so lucky to have such a personal and private space to work in to create beauty that I get to share with the universe.
