skinny delish!

Have you tried this?
"Skinnygirl" margarita?? Two of my fave friends were over the other evening for cocktails on our terrace(happened to be a balmy summer eve in NYC) and one of them brought this delightfully tasty and very light on calories cocktail in a bottle(screw top and all-just pour over ICE!!)
Quick-go get some yum-TGIF!

seeing red

A while back I started this large canvas-this first layer or underpainting is clearly what must have been an emotional and aggressive day for me. There are really interesting bits of newspaper print, such as images of superhero comics and an old new york times crossword puzzle finished by my dad adhered to the canvas.

This is the finished canvas and I'm very pleased with it. I am so glad that I have the image above to remind me of what's lurking behind the surface...when you look closely, you can see the odd bits of newspaper, textured drips and scrawled writing.

my art

This is too exciting! I was commissioned about a year ago to paint these panels for a client and they are finally finished and hanging in the master bedroom of their new home. They look so dramatic and what's even more gratifying-my clients are thrilled!

summer toes

Wow it's been a while since I've blogged-anyhow, couldn't resist posting my fab grassy green toes for summer(usually a dark pinkish purple this time of year). Aside from my freakishly long toes(yikes!) still think they look pretty fun and fresh...

huge thanks to above (two tall blondes) for posting my work on their blog...appreciate the snaps!

wrapped stick

It has been forever since i last posted...not sure if blogging is my thing(atleast regularly)?

had a ton going on(not necessarily creative-but important to me). my kids school was finishing up, bringing with it alot of parental obligations-i was readying one for summer camp away for the first time(stressful), as well as readying myself and my younger one for day camp(i teach art at camp for summer).

today is the first day and this wrapped stick(apologies-i have no idea where i came across this image, but love it!) seems like such a cool project for some of my goups. so many of the projects are these junky kits that you order from catalogs, that it's so nice to come across interesting and creative looking objects

that you can DIY.

this book by todd oldham is chock full of great projects for kids and definitely my fave and go to book for ideas this summer at camp...the kids will really love them and be challenged creatively as well...off to camp!

great books

These are great books that I've either finished or pick up when I can grab a few moments here and there. As an artist, I can't read or see enough about other artists and their experiences. I highly recommend each, they are insightful and inspiring...
