BEES

I do love bees. I have used "apitherapy" for my ailments and those wonderful creatures share their version of cortisone. I did some pen and ink tiny artworks. Watercolor, too. They are losing populations and we need them. Fertilize our plants. Landscape and food.

TIMES SQUARE BILLBOARD!!

I was honored with about (20 other women artists) by Ceres Gallery on June 14, 2025 with a photograph of me on an electronic billboard!! Fifteen seconds in every hour. It was at 47 minutes after the hour for 24 hours!! How Fun!! It was in honor of the exhibit titled RAISING WOMEN'S VOICES. The exhibit is still up but the billboard is done. What a world!! This is the painting that is in the exhibit.

RIBBON

All done. It was a bit of a journey with some tedious parts. I really like the sense of space and a fairy tail inside this somewhere. Title - RIBBONS

THE RIBBON OF LIFE THROUGH MANY CREATURES AND THINGS

This image of Life has changed as I went along. Things added or painted out. From a splash with ink and a hairbrush to a thoughtful image, challenging me.

EVERY LIFE IS UNIQUE, 1993 WEST HARLEM

I was very shiny in West Harlem. I was supervising artist on a city funded project at 134th St. and Amsterdam Ave. in 1993. Only four months for this incredible adventure. I learned that white people have an extra gene. A cruelty gene. About 2 months into the project on 134th street, my students wanted to know what I was. I said “white” but they wouldn’t go for that. Uh-nh. At the end of that day on the mural, 6 year old Anita told me that they had figured it out. I was a Puerto Rican who didn’t speak Spanish. I took this “crew” to a city pool to swim. I took this “crew” to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I was missing that cruelty gene. I know someone who taught overseas who said her kids in the Indian Ocean told her the same thing! That mural we did is still there. That is a miracle. Over 30 years. There were bullet holes in that mural before that summer was over. It was a very rough neighborhood then. We worked together. Haitian, Domenica Republican, Puerto Rican, African American and I don’t know who else. About 30 kids, in all. A monument to working together. IT'S STILL THERE!!
