studio // South Coast Massachusetts studio

In July 2020 since the pandemic was still raging in NYC and it was summer, my family and I relocated temporarily again to live in south coast Massachusetts where my family has a beach home. I have gone there every summer since I was born, as have generations of my family before me. It was beautiful being there and living and painting in that environment for many months as summer turned to fall. I took over a portion of an attached outdoor shed/workspace as my studio which I shared with my father and his woodworking tools and projects. I had easy outdoor access and it was great to paint flat on the ground and have huge sliding doors to easily move my paintings outside. There was lots of humid ocean air (which made the paint take forever to dry but allowed me to easily use spray paint again!) and a view of the constantly changing ocean and big sky which influenced my work.

studio // West Virginia studio

In March 2020 when the pandemic started in NYC and schools shut down and workers went fully remote, my family and I left Brooklyn and relocated temporarily to my husband’s family home in a small town in the mountains of West Virginia. I had not been out of NYC for this long temporarily in over 20 years. In West Virginia we figured out that I could set up a studio in a basement space. I was thrilled to have dedicated space to paint with a window. There are two old pinball machines down there with me. Super cool to look at. The feel of the green spring forest, creatures like hawks and deer, and the mountains and fresh mountain air outside combined with this basement space filled with interested vintage things and the dreaded uprooted feeling of the pandemic and political climate at the time fueled a lot of my work.

exhibition // MvVo Ad Art Show at Sotheby's, NYC

My painting "Catapult" was selected to be a part of the MvVo ART Ad Art Show this past weekend, Feb 22-25, 2018 at Sotheby's in New York City. The show had artists from all over the world exhibiting on two floors. The theme is that all contributing artists are fine artists that have or have had dual career lives in advertising or design as well- like many successful artists in the past.

collector's view // my work in the Tang Museum

This past June, at my 20 year college reunion, the staff at the Tang Museum at Skidmore College set up a time for me to come in to view my painting "If Nothing is Concealed Then Nothing Can Be Revealed, Yellow", 1997, that lives in their archives.  This painting was part of a triptych from my Senior Art Show at Skidmore. It was awarded honors status and then acquired for their permanent collection.  Pictured at bottom is the triptych as it was hung in the Senior Art Show, and my studio space, as it looks today, that it was made in at Skidmore College in the Sasselin Art building.

Exciting to see how my paintings work and interact in new spaces!

Thank you Middle Settlement Family Practice.
