I am grateful to be among so many incredible artists in this show. I hope you have a chance to visit.

It means so much to me that one of my paintings has found a new home. If you’d like to explore the rest of my work in the show, the link is in my bio.

I’m so happy to share that my painting Wishes has recently found its way to the home of a wonderful collector and his wife. Thank you, Bob, for visiting my studio and for bringing this painting to your home.

I titled this work Wishes because, while creating it, I was thinking of some of the intentions I want to send out into the world - wishes for love, peace, healing where it’s needed most, and for more light in our world.

Wishes was juried into the the Cultural Center of Cape Cod’s exhibition “Outside In, Upside Down,” where it was memorably displayed hanging from the ceiling! I’ll never forget the moment and I looked up to see it suspended above us! It was so magical.

I’m so happy Wishes has found a new home. Bob, thank you for supporting my work and I hope it brings you and your family joy for many years to come.

Thank you, for choosing my painting “4” during South End Open Studios. It is so meaningful when one of my paintings leaves the studio — especially when it’s selected by another artist.

I’ve been spending most of my time in the studio lately, working on new paintings, so while this note of thanks is a bit overdue, I am excited to show you what I’ve been working on, so stay tuned...

Thank you to everyone that visited yesterday — your kind words, curiosity, and genuine connection to the art filled my studio with such beautiful energy.

A heartfelt thank you to the new collector who brought Improvisation 3 (the last one in the series!) into your home.
Sometimes, a piece of art stays with you—on your walls and in your thoughts. That lingering feeling is often a sign that it truly belongs. Knowing this work will continue to inspire in its new home fills me with such gratitude and joy.
