View post →Last Friday I left my class at Parsons and walked over to get the subway and discovered crowds of people from many different causes gathered at the front of Union Square to protest.

View post →A few weeks ago I went with Veronica Lawlor and Julia Sverchuk to the Society of Illustrators to draw some incredible models. Great night! As I was drawing the models I was feeling the vibe from the artists across from me. I couldn’t resist, so I drew them too! So much fun! Intense! Margaret Hurst
View post →it is a white ball against a sky so blue it hurts your eyes it is thick grass, so perfectly green day fading into evening as cheers fade to silence soft moonlight on an empty park full of promise with morning light crack of a bat, the graceful arc flies over the wall little white […]

View post →Another drawing from the Synaesthesia Social workshop taught by Veronica Lawlor and hosted by Ted Michalowski. These are the hands of Jason Smeltzer and the Theremin Box.

View post →OMG! it was nearly 6:10 this morning when my children came running into the room with chocolate on the brain begging to see if the Easter bunny “just happened to drop anything off for them” (since they’ve been so ridiculously well behaved this past week concerned about a shortage in sweets if they did anything but sneeze, lol).

View post →Took a trip to Scranton with Julia Sverchuk and Veronica Lawlor because Veronica, Ronnie, was conducting a drawing workshop for Synaesthesia Social hosted by Ted Michalowski. These musicians were incredible, and incredibly in tuned with each other! Jamie Orfanella played the didgeridoo. I have included the other musicians in the drawing with their hands: Tyler […]
View post →Last week I posted about snow on the first day of spring. It seems as if Old Man Winter is having a difficult time letting go of the spotlight from the flurries we saw again yesterday here in the city. Above is a watercolor reportage I did at the NYBG a few years back this very week talking […]
View post →When one door closes another opens. I value nothing greater than my time, it is the only thing that I really own. I can do what I choose and everything should be by some choice. I waited too long to start one project that I missed the opportunity. Happens all the time but this one […]
