My First Artist Residency...in Italy!

This summer I was lucky enough to attend my first artist residency. High on a hill above the ancient Valle Camonica in the town of Cividate Camuno in Lombardy, surrounded by the majestic embrace of the Italian Alps, stands RUC. This mystical place is an ancestral home where artists from all over the world come to work in and be inspired by nature and history.

October Mood Board

This month I'm all about that dark olive/hunter green with a touch of brassy peach and of course, lots of depth and texture.  Lately I'm using a lot of these tones in my original paintings and in my wardrobe.

Four Rebranding Lessons I Learned

Going through a website revamp and redesign is A LOT of work.  My previous website launched almost 7 years ago but internet years are like dog years and I was long overdue for a change.  Here are four very important lessons I learned when I rebranded and redesigned my website.

Reflecting on a New Season

Reflecting on a New Season

It’s nearly summer and here in the lower Hudson Valley where I work there is definitely a shift in energy as I personally start to shed some of the physical and emotional layers of the last year. Even if it looks different I sense a fresh, rejuvenating spirit that recalls the energy of life at the onset of the new season.

Behind the Work: The Birds Are Singing in the Nighttime

I think a lot of people assume that the world works in a predictable, logical, and linear way but if 2020 has taught me anything it’s that this isn’t the case. Expecting that things will actually go on as planned just perpetuates this fantasy.
