Mother Earth

This drawing is based on an 8000 year old neolithic fertility figurine, which was unearthed two years ago in Çatalhöyük, Turkey, one of the oldest cities in the world.

Martha's Vineyard

Vineyard and vine, encompassed by bluefish and brine.

A piscine emblem framed by the sea, ivy leagues wave at me. 

Crosstown traffic hums below, deaf to summer’s calypso. 

detail of this drawing

In 1970, my family vacationed in beautiful Martha's Vineyard.  A few months ago,

my father gave me the original map we used to navigate the island. I used it as a

canvas to paint this ode to our fishing friends.

American Educator

This piece for American Educator accompanies a story called Community Schools - A Promising Foundation for Progress. These schools are strategically integrated with their local communities in order to support economically-challenged families. They work with local community centers, health organizations, civic and business leaders to provide families with a safety net beyond the ABC’s of education. These institutions are super valuable in communities which are confronted with poverty. A big shout out to all my public school teacher friends. Your dedication makes this world a better place!

Various resources are available to families in need.

Families in need are the focus of community schools

Community schools are a solid foundation in economically challenged areas

A special thanks to art director, Jennifer Berney, for this fantastic project.
