This is a drawing I made of an “old school” occupation. Old presses are really quite beautiful. And so are the people who are interested in preserving their history. –Despina PS- switched places wth Michele this week. Look for her post on Sunday!
View post →On a recent trip to Boston with Dalvero Academy we spent the afternoon in Copley Square. The square is beautiful, historical and modern. Under a small leafy green tree across the street from the Boston Public Library is the finish line for the Boston Marathon where a small wooden memorial is representing the four people […]

View post →There has been a lot of talk about doing away with handsome cabs around New York’s Central Park, and while I would be sad to see another NYC icon fade, I do feel for the horses… -Despina
View post →I made this drawing in 2009 while on the island of Santorini. You’ll notice ship masts and buses in the background. We were all waiting for our ride off or onto the island…which, by the way, is one of the most naturally beautiful places I have ever visited. Click here for more drawings made on […]
View post →Greg’s post this week on the Tour Du France reminded me of that trip abroad together. This was a drawing I had done entering the Hall of Mirrors in the Palace of Versailles. The wonder, the enormity of it all was intense. It was the symbol of royal absolutism and the embodiment of classical French art. […]
View post →Top mast on the Charles W. Morgan at Mystic Seaport. The top mast was put in place on November 11, 2013, just a few months ago. That’s hard for me to believe because she’s now under sail going from port to port in New England. Provincetown is her current stop. Dalvero was there! And we […]
View post →I found myself drawing, painting, cutting paper, using digital and sculpting all in one image hunting for “beauty”. So much fun. Another lesson in letting the process be …..loved it! Happy Friday! Michele
View post →Another drawing of the Charles W. Morgan as part of her 38th Voyage. This drawing was drawn while the Morgan was docked at the New London pier. It’s such a reward to watch the hands on process of everything that has been done for the restoration and sailing of the Charles W. Morgan. Margaret Hurst

View post →China has always fascinated me. This is a detail from a really REALLY large drawing I did on location in Epcot’s China Pavilion. Check in next week to see the whole drawing. Did you know … 30% of Chinese adults still live with their parents. Approximately 200 million people in China live on less than $1 a […]

View post →A few years back on this very beautiful last day of spring I found myself looking at the masterful mid-century artist Robert Rauschenberg ALOT. I’m always in awe of how he created such fusion between type and image. I find it incredible and exciting …and yes (for many who know me), he’s genuinely left an indelible impression on all my work. Above is a poster […]
View post →While going through some archival files this week I found this study done on location a few years back. Looking at it, it’s so interesting and exciting to see what still belongs to me when I approach a drawing now and what’s been worked thru since then. – Michele
View post →Another drawing from the recital last week. The costumes were quite fun.—Dominick
View post →Another drawing from the sail setting weekend at New London on the Charles W. Morgan. For this drawing I was standing on the dock but very close to where they were added the sails on the jibs. It was a strange and incredible point of view. This particular drawing is of the first sail attached. […]
