For a good cause

I was pleased to receive an invitation from the Executive Director of the Worcester Animal Rescue League to create some artwork for an art auction fundraiser for WARL taking place this fall. I created two pieces, which will hopefully generate some much needed donations for this worthy cause. Watch their website for information in the coming months. https://worcesterarl.org/
Where? Ware!

I had the pleasure of taking part in an amazing community art project in May, during the quarantine.
The downtown area of Ware, MA has had some bumpy times in the last few years. After a fire displaced several Main Street businesses a few years ago, the buildings remain boarded up.
But right across the street are some bustling art businesses, ClayWorks and ArtWorks, and a community art school up the road called WorkShop13. I mentioned an idea to the Marie Lauderdale, the Executive Director of WorkShop13 – a way to bring some much needed color and interest into the boarded up area. The idea took flight! A series of reproductions of famous paintings ask and answer the question, “Where?” “Ware!” The paintings were created by local artists through Workshop13, and I was thrilled to take part by painting Van Gogh’s “Self Portrait With Grey Felt Hat,” and my daughter Rachel painted Picasso’s “Portrait of Dora Maar.” 
If you’re ever in the area, be sure to stop and stroll by this wonderful installation.
Making lemonade

I am reminded with every passing day how very lucky I am. As the world grapples with the frightening spread of disease, I can only take in so much bad news. At some point, I need to escape into my safe place and splash paint around as I hide from the germs. Out of these lemons, I’m making lemonade.
