Hey friends, I have not been too active. I am deeply saddened to report that my mother just passed away last week. This has been the longest week of my life. As a co executor with my sister we have a lot to contend with and I am dealing with it from a distance, until I can get there.

This really applies to numerous things these days. Maybe end stage capitalism too. โ€œEnshittificationโ€ is Cory Doctorow's word to describe the decay of online tech platforms. It captures the feeling of a world that is ever worsening. It's not a glitch, but a feature. Portrait in gouache by me.

So, I posted a song I really liked, and sure enough it is AI, and of course it is streaming on all the usual platforms. I have since taken down the post. Now, musicians have to compete with AI 'artists', because the music business isn't hard enough. What are your feelings on this? #MusicBiz

โ€œUnfolding,โ€ an acrylic on paper, 9 inch (ca. 23 cm) x 12 inch (ca. 30 cm) that explores the tension between texture and structure. This piece reflects an exploration of natural forces in balanceโ€”both fluid and controlledโ€”and I hope it offers a moment to pause and engage with that dynamic. #Art

Using a muted palette of gold, black, white, and gray, I worked with layered brushstrokes that weave together in an organic rhythm, while linear black elements cut through the surface to anchor the composition. The thick paint adds depth and invites you to experience the movement and energy within the interplay of chaotic textures and deliberate lines.

#AbstractArt โ€œPathways,โ€ 11 by 14-inch work on paper, exploring the tension between order & fluidity. With this piece, I wanted to capture an energetic balance, like navigating a journey where clear directions and unexpected turns coexist. Structure & spontaneity.

"Pathways," an 11 by 14-inch work that explores the tension between order and fluidity. Using a palette of blues, yellows, and whites, I created an abstract composition where geometric shapes meet sweeping, curvilinear lines. The layering of bold brushstrokes and varied textures builds a sense of movement and depth, inviting the eye to travel through overlapping patterns that feel both structured and spontaneous. With this piece, I wanted to capture an energetic balanceโ€”like navigating a journey where clear directions and unexpected turns coexist.
