The Rockaway Community Responds to Paint with Poetry
While I was in New York this Spring I had the pleasure of painting a Hearts of the World mural on Rockaway Beach Boulevard for Beautify Earth. This organization is bringing color and revitalization to the Rockaway Beach community, which was badly damaged by Hurricane Sandy in 2012. Residents of Rockaway were invited to paint […]
Backflip into a Life of Passion Pt 2
…(Continued) And then, in the midst of nebulous fear, I had a pivotal moment of clarity. I had a thought that changed the rest of my life and it was this: I imagined myself as an old woman, looking back on my life, wondering… What if I had just tried to do exactly what I wanted […]
The Viennese Flea Market
Vintage porcelain dishes, colorful plastic trinkets and toys, worn miniature playing cards, embroidered turkish clothes, big, warm fur coats, and people of all stripes; The Viennese flea market is open every Saturday from early until about 6pm. The best time to go in my opinion is either early- to get all the good stuff, or […]
Onward to Alaska!
I am on my way to Anchorage Alaska to ride in my mother’s sled at the ceremonial start of the Iditarod.

We are staying […]
Vienna, Out on the Town
After several days of staying mostly inside, painting and having meetings about Aces of Perception, ( our new “portals” project for Vienna), we finally got out of the house and took a good walk around the city. It’s night and raining. We grab our umbrellas and step outside into the crisp, wet air. The streets, replete […]
Aces of Perception, Vienna
I am excited to be in Vienna and to be working on our next project, The Aces of Percepion, an evolution of The 13 Portals project, a public art experience that Perola Bonfanti and I brought to the streets of New York City last year. Vienna has so much depth, it’s like a rich chocolate million-layer cake. […]
