Yesterday was International Women's Day. I was notified that I am a selected artist to be considered for my painting to be acquired for this fabulous Zaha Hadid's 'One Thousand Museum' Building in Miami, Florida. Her architecture is amazing and the thrill to be in one of her buildings is so exciting. I [...]
Road Trip to Palm Springs and onward
It was an eventful 16 days...filled with rainy weather and traffic.

My Studio Assistant
When I paint or create a sculpture, I am not sure I would be able to stay focused if I had a human studio assistant. 🙂 Chevy, my dachshund, is great support and I'll call her the best studio assistant! (Chevy is probably curious why I dance, with my paint brush in hand while wearing [...]
