Happy Holidays

Now that Christmas has come and gone, it's time to share the holiday commissions. I hope that everyone had a wonderful holiday, filled with lots of love and tasty food. I am including in this commission round-up any fall commissions that may or may not have turned into holiday presents.

CEAM: Transliteration Highlights


Now that I am officially "on break" (painting all day, working on loose ends for commissions, upcoming exhibitions and teaching...but yeah, it's break because most of this happens in my pajamas), I am trying to catch up on a few things, these posts are included.

Transliteration: Liz Robbins + Sara Pedigo closed on November 21st, which makes these shots of the installation very overdue. The show was excellent, and I am deeply thankful for everyone who helped to make it possible and who visited while it was up. Special thanks are in order for Julie Dickover, the director of CEAM, for putting everything together. The final show included 26 poems (written within the last year): 10 new drawings and 6 new paintings based on pre-existing poems and 10 new paintings used to inspire 10 new poems. This collaboration challenged me creatively and gave me a dear friend in Liz, I think she is a truly amazing writer.
