This series of birch trees paintings remind me of Japanese Screens. The Japanese screens of Edo that had beautiful, colorful trees, painted on them to divide rooms, and to make a tea party more artistic. The size and shape of these birch tree paintings, are very similar to the Japanese screen dividers. When I painted these modern paintings of birch trees some of these thoughts came into my mind about the forest. “ I had come to a clearing in a forest of birches. I walked for a while, enjoying the peace and quiet of the forest. The only sound was the occasional rustle of leaves or the chirping ..read more

In a piece of music, silence can be used to create a sense of stillness or peace. Let the canvas colors inside your body and swirl around,  Color rests in silence, Silence is color Silence is a powerful tool in art. It can be used to create a sense of mys ..read more

Last week I googled women’s circle and women’s Wisdom, it brought me to the Wild Woman Birthkeeper’s website. I was looking for a circle of women to connect to. This Circle was perfect. Located outside greater Boston. These two women, Nadia and Noli were the radical facilitators I needed. Their nurturing circle has a radical feel. The voices and concepts of these young women were both enlightening and uplifting. They are a few generations younger than me, full of immense power and positivity.   As an artist, it is so important to be in new environments to expand your ideals and artwork.&n ..read more

One day, a client came to the great artist Henri Matisse, with the desire to buy one of the master’s works. He tells Matisse that he wants to buy something, and Matisse pulls out a sheet of paper, and with a few deft strokes, creates one of his highly distinctive, masterful drawings. “Ah, beautiful!” says the customer. “How much?” Matisse names a price  so high that the customer is shocked. “So much, for just a minute of drawing?” he protests. “A minute of drawing, a lifetime of practice,” answers Matisse. I love this story—even though it probably is apocryphal—because it’s a good reminde ..read more
