We are still here, that’s a good thing. My personal life has been a bit of a mine field lately but the important stuff is mostly stable. I really like stable. I’d be willing to indulge boring, as I think many would these days. Still working on stock for the October Moonlight Market (Oct. 3rd at Long Island Sports Hub), and also decided to join the Long Island Museum’s Pages and Pictures, their annual book and art sale (September 19th). I won’t be there personally unless things open up but I...

Welcome! It’s July, it’s hot, it’s weird. So far I’ve spent most of the month getting ready for the art director coming in to my class, which happened last Wednesday. It went well, I was told things like my work has “renaissance vibes”, “muscular substance to figures and shapes”, and that my illustrations look Ike they came out of really old book,in a good way. So I can’t really complain….But. During the class I felt like the art director was kind of board with my work. Usually I would have...

Hello, as is pretty obvious now, we couldn’t make the June Moonlight Market. Schedules, sickness, injuries, and the Cosmic Owl all kinda said “no”. However this has given me some more time for painting, some new patterns, and since I have the newsletter, I thought I’d ask if there is anything you would like to see at the table for the October Market. Let me know. New Pattern The “Croquet Game” is coming along but I have to put the afterburners on. Every semester smART school has a special...

Hi, you’re back and I’m still here! Yay! No big changes this month. Stock is being made for the Moonlight Market on June 6th, at the Long Island Sports Hub. Getting some tatted items done in addition to a new bobbin lace pattern (along with untangling some unruly bobbins). I realized that because I hadn’t re-upped my business cards from the Expo, I was still out of business cards. So I made some new ones, with some new art and the new QR code on the back. Playing shipping roulette as they are...

Hi All, April has hit. Pretty quiet which is a good thing. Getting some new tatted lace done for the Moonlight Market on June 6th at the Long Island Sports Hub. My class is going well and I’ve gotten to the point where I have to start shooting reference shots for the first painting Queen of Hearts. Got a costume together, not perfect but it should work.. Here is the Queen of Hearts sketch: I also have been working on the under painting for my Bread and Butterfly painting. Here is the sketch...

Hello, It’s (not) February, shortest month of the year and (I totally missed making the February newsletter) I’m getting the last touches done on my new stock (with Raven’s Wing Hattery) for the Moonlight Market Expo on March 14th and 15th at Hofstra. I’ve also gotten back to my Alice in Wonderland series of paintings. This one will be of the “Bread and Butterflies” Speaking of my Alice series, “The Caterpillar” has been sold. Congratulations to Sunny down at Mugs on Main. Hope you enjoy it...

Welcome to my first newsletter. I plan to get one of these out a month (thanks to my lovely digital content manager) . This letter will cover a few months due to things getting on top of me. My work is still up at William Ris Gallery in Jamesport and at Mugs on Main in Riverhead. Currently I’m getting new stock made for the new Moonlight Market Expo I’m attending with Raven’s Wing Hattery, March 14 and 15. I’m getting back in the studio more, now that I’m healed up from the surgery. I will be...
