What I Take for Granted

With a world in turmoil, today my thoughts go to the true treasures I often take for granted and that I am so grateful for. Essential things, people, experiences that I hope to continue to enjoy after what the future brings, being a late snow storm or a forced change - which is always inevitable. I think of mental and physical health; the comforts that surround us in our homes; our family, friends and loved ones: kindred souls in life’s journey who enrich, challenge and contain us at our highest and lowest moments; not in the least important: the network of nature and life that - while jeopardized like never before due to man-made actions - remains somewhat stable and always splendid.    

I am also so thankful I am free to do my humble work creating art and sharing my passion for art and for the natural world I am part of. My studio time turns any time into an oasis, a retreat. Being present in art making is my focus, my compass, and the colors, textures, dots, stitches bring me to where I belong. What are you grateful for?

I have some exciting news:

• I am so honored to have been invited by the Cambridge Art Association to be guest juror for their Earth Day exhibit. The deadline to submit your works is Thursday March 19^th. More info here.

  
  

• I will be exhibiting in the upcoming group exhibit of i3C Artists and Guests: "Earth Day #57:  What does this mean to you?" at Gallery 103 (2 Haven St, Reading, MA) from April to June 2026. Opening Reception: Friday May 1^st (5:30 - 8:30 pm).

I am also working on other thrilling projects involving important collaborations that I will share on my next blog. Till then, stay safe and focused.

See you in May!
