Thank you, all of you who visited my show, or checked out my work on my website as it was progressing. Your friendship and support means a lot to me, and I’m thankful that you came out to view and consider my work. ❤️✨

Panoramic view of some of my work in the ECA Gallery in Easthampton, Massachusetts, February 2026.That’s a wrap! I rented a U-Haul van and took down my show today, to make way for the next artist to grace the ECA Gallery. I might have shed a tear or two. After loading up the van, I happily delivered a couple of big paintings to some wonderful people who are now collectors of my work. If you’d like some of my work in your home too, reach out—there’s plenty to choose from, and I need to make room in my small studio for my next body of work, which I’ll be showing at Mt. Tom’s Homemade Ice Cream the month of September, later this year. I’ve got to get crack-a-lackin’ on that—I plan to make a dozen paintings, and I’ve only just begun. They will be smaller, so I’m not worried. 😊 One of these days I will host a proper open studio event.

Went to an amazing concert: Ezra Furman at the Sinclair in Cambridge, Mass. Left feeling hopeful and connected, despite the precariousness of our times.

A friend and I went out on an evening kayaking expedition on the Connecticut River, to see the moon rise over the water. We got a bonus shooting star out of the adventure. He saw it in real-time. I discovered it later, while editing my photos.

I made another painting. “Looking Up” Acrylic on canvas 30 by 30 inches ==== I’ll be showing this in February 2026 at the ECA Gallery in Easthampton, Massachusetts.

What better day than a breezy, fall-like first day of summer to introduce a painting that I just finished yesterday. Set in autumn, it is an ode to our connectedness (by way of one attribute that we all share—our mortality). I am calling it “Ghost Trees.”

Painting of a peak-autumn scene: a pathway through a cemetery, littered with the fallen, golden leaves of autumn. A portal into autumn. Photograph of a series of barn structures. One of them has a painting hung on its side. The painting is of an autumn scene set in a cemetery.
