..I once read that Pythagoras is credited with having discovered the physical relationship between mass and sound, (otherwise known as music), and that this relationship (expressible as ratios) is essentially what led to Galileo’s revolutionary discoveries in physics. One might say this same physical relationship occurs in a drawing – more of this and less of […]
View post →Putting it mildly, (if you weren’t here) Saturday night in New York City was unbearably hot and steamy. It was the perfect night for a movie after a long week  at work (hint,hint: air-conditioning!). We went to see Inception (a very popular movie that sold-out soon after we got there) which left the “late comers” having […]
View post →In 2009 when the United Nations declared today, July 18th 2010 as the first recognized Nelson Mandela Day, it called for a day when people around the world would celebrate a legacy of peace, forgiveness and reconciliation, all in honor of Tata Madiba’s 92nd Birthday. So who is Tata Madiba? Tata Madiba is Nelson Mandela, South Africa’s first democratically […]
View post →The day is July 10th. It’s 1977, and I just got these new hot wheels! It’s a bright pink banana bike and I think I’m the coolest thing around … I play the best Pinky Tuscadero! So it only makes sense I get to be her when we pick our roles in make believe. With […]

View post →Teachers, friends and books … three simple words, but they mean so much. This past Monday Dominick and I were having a conversation about art and asking what does it take for an artist to truly reach their potential? So I shared with him something my Kabbalah teacher Sarah told me last week, (it was […]
View post →The image of the pelicans this past week covered from head to toe in oil left such an indelibly painful impression on my heart. It’s so sad to see the how much devastation is happening to the ecosystem in the gulf. In response I thought I’d share one of my favorite poems, (which ironically seemed […]
View post →Spent the holiday weekend with my honey at the Magic Kingdom. It’s always a treat (and a gift) to be back! A little drawing in the bakery while we took a break from the heat. (Looks like we weren’t the only ones escaping.) Enjoy your Tuesday – Michele
View post →I did this drawing a while back during the flag ceremony in Walt Disney World (can’t get any more all American than Disney). I thought it’d be kind of perfect for the day, Let’s keep in mind, it’s not just a day off from work, but a day to give thanks for the blessings we […]

View post →It’s in the simple things… that make life special…..like seeing my mother-in-law’s quiet joy whenever she watches home movies of her sons when they were little. She loves that.           Hope you enjoy the ease of the weekend, michele
View post →“…a plumber’s nightmare” my teacher always called it. This steel proud vessel with so many tales to tell sitting tall along the west side highway. No plumber’s hanging ’round here, just an artist …who’s eager to draw. Happy Friday, Michele
View post →As I shlepped across town with my golden ticket in hand to the Met I wasn’t sure what to expect. It was a Tuesday night and the preview of the opening of Senior Pablo Picasso’s new exhibit was about to begin. (You know, one of those nights all sorts of people come out, some to […]
View post →This boat is beginning to make me feel like a real world traveler … three days in D.C. last week, now two in Mystic. This weekend I had the incredible privilege of spending the weekend with Ronnie, Marg and the Dalvero Academy on a treasured reportage excursion to Mystic Seaport. What an experience! From the […]
View post →Bucket List #18 : riding a fire truck in a parade down Constitution Avenue, (behind a giant Garfield balloon nonetheless!) Once I get a chance to unpack my bags I’ll sit and share a little more of the magical weekend I experienced in Washington D.C. this weekend. I’ll give you a hint though: Saturday was […]
View post →Ever since I was a little girl my family has had this wonderfully bizarre tradition of spending Easter Sunday at Coney Island in Brooklyn. At first though it’s not the most romantic place to be these days but there’s always been something quite magical about the whole experience. Every year we’d park right in front […]
View post →Ahhh ….. spring in Central Park, what could be better? …(even when it is a bit chilly in the air.) I made this drawing sitting on the edge of the spectacular Bethesda fountain inspired by the breathtaking view of the Bethesda Terrace, (the lower level to be exact). This area is often referred to as the […]
