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.

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.

Prints of this piece are available here!

Works on Paper Opening

I had a wonderful time attending the Works on Paper opening on Saturday evening - at the Atwater Gallery in Rhinebeck NY. Over thirty talented arts were represented in this show, which is up until February 13th. I revieved great feedback for my Flounder drawing, which was drawn on butcher paper. If you're in the area, I hope you'll take a peek at this fun exhibit. 

 You can view more from this series, which I call Food for Thought, here.

Or you can see a variety of my personal work here. 

Works on Paper Exhibit

I'm thrilled to be displaying this piece in the upcoming Works on Paper exhibit, at the Atwater Gallery, Rhinebeck NY. This group show's opening is Saturday, January 18th (5 - 8 pm). If you live in the area, please stop in for a glass of wine - and say hello!

I had fun building this shadowbox for the drawing , which doubles as a very shallow aquarium.

Food for Thought

Have you ever kept seeing an image in your mind's eye, and were compelled to find a way to honor it? That's how this series of drawings got started. I won't say much about them, other than it was fun to play with pastels, charcoal, and other mixed media. I'm curious about what you think.
