What’s new at the studio
The silver lining
August 22, 2022 By
Earlier this year, an art journal that I had worked for much of 2021 was destroyed in a tractor trailer fire. The entire Brooklyn Art Library Sketchbook Project collection was being transported to a new location in Florida, but along the way the truck caught fire. 30% of the sketchbooks were destroyed, including mine. It was destroyed before they were able to digitize it for online viewing. The silver lining: I photographed it before I shipped it to them.
The saddest part of this whole thing is that no one will be able to hold the book in their hands and experience the interactive pages that I built to illustrate it. It’s my interpretation of the song, “Inside” by Sting. It’s high up on my personal list of favorite songs ever. And this was one of my favorite pieces that I had ever created.
This piece was intended to be part of a series, as I only illustrated about 1/3 of the lyrics. You can view it at at the link below.Summer break

I’m taking a short break from indoor art projects, but wanted to post a snapshot of the beauty all around the studio, including the oh-so-inviting front porch! Ideas are percolating, but for now, I’m enjoying this relaxed summer pace. I’d also like to point out the finished chicken mosaic in its summer location. It was a fun project and I’m pretty happy with the finished result.
Getting ready to celebrate MOM!

We had some special friends visiting the studio on this chilly spring day, and they had lots of fun creating stepping stones for their Mom’s garden! Using bits of glass, rocks, buttons, plastic critters and letter stamps, these creations are true works of art! Nice job B. and R.!

There are multiple projects in various stages of completion in the studio, the biggest of which is a mosaic that will hang on the wall of the front porch as soon as it’s finished. That will open the workspace for 
fun projects I have planned with some of my young artist friends. Spring is HERE! Windows are OPEN!
