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 […]

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 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.

Two weeks ago on a GORGEOUS Sunday afternoon we took the boys to a local park for some fun. If you saw last weeks post I mentioned everyone was hanging out without a care in the world. Here is another observation I found subtly interesting. An easy Sunday moment we’ve all seen but have maybe overlooked. No […]

View post →Putting the sails on the masts of the Charles W. Morgan in the port of New London! I can’t wait to go again for the Sea Trials! This has been an amazing reportage event.

June begins the summer season when kids go out and have magical times in the sunshine. Don’t forget to remind your kids about basic safety rules! Be safe and have fun everyone!!~Despina

View post →Last Sunday while the weather was SPECTACULAR! we took the boys to a local park for some fun. There were plenty of people skirting about enjoying the moment. The body language between these two was so casual, so comfortable, just like the day itself. I couldn’t help wonder what they were saying. Maybe it was something like, […]

She’s currently in New London, being fitted out for her journey through New England this summer. Very exciting! You can see her voyage itinerary HERE. posted […]

She went from Mystic Seaport to New London on March 17th. These hands/rope drawings were made the following day when the crew was attaching the sails to the jibs to […]
