CENSORSHIP! PRESIDENT, THE CURATOR

I've had work not accepted into exhibitions. Fine. Curators doing their jobs to pick a show. I have had work rejected, sent back, dismissed after it was chosen. By non-art people. The question "Can you explain this to us?" is right up there in the top 10 stupid questions from ignorant and insecure people. Here is one of my favorites that got me into a private conversation with some politicians. "What is this about?"

Now our politician #1 is curating the Smithsonian. What a joke. He paved over a 100 year old rose garden. The man is a nitwit.

INTERVIEW WITH A MAGAZINE VOYAGE AUSTIN

They used the word "courage" too may times. I guess that means I used it too many times when I responded to their questions.

2025 DANCING WITH CANCER/SELF PORTRAIT

This is painted on a piece of double-A plywood, 3/4 of an inch thick. (h)27” x (w)19¼ . Painting on wood is so very different than painting on canvas. The springiness of canvas has so much more forgiveness. Even paper feels softer than this wood.

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.

HOMAGE TO MIRACLES - APRIL 2025

It is wonderful that the show WILL go on!

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
