Welcome
...to my blogs, art, photos, and poetry.
With the intent to add images of my recent paintings and assemblages, I am faced with choosing the best method of presenting them.
Technologically challenged at times (full disclosure),
I mostly prefer to MAKE art and write, not work on the website. Hence, the artistic dilemma, and more hence, (is there such a thing?) that's why the art images are not yet posted here. But soon, I hope, soon.

An exciting event for me this past June 2024: I exhibited my JARS collection, "What Lies Within," and a few paintings, at the Maiden Lane Gallery of the YWCA in uptown Kingston. The show was curated by Melanie Delgado @melaniedelgado.art, an excellent abstract artist and friend, (pictured with me at right; below if you're on mobile)
I'd worked on the JARS over a two year period and then stored them away. So I was thrilled to take them out and put them on display!
The opening was splendid! Friends and visitors expressed delight at this strange new art form that I created. Words like 'joyful, fun, and whimsical' were overheard. Visitors were curious and intrigued; they asked great questions and extended compliments to me. Happily, "Tiny Dancer" and "Xingyun" were sold and went off to good homes!
(Yes, all the jars have names.)
