Looking  forward to our two month long special event at State of the Art Gallery in ithaca. SOAG artists respond to a poem or poems from regional poets, invited by past Poet Laureate of Tompkins County, Tish PEARLMAN. I chose her piece "In the Distance " and a poem by another former Poet Laureate and good friend, Gail Warhaft, called "Walking in Treman Gorge". I'll be showing in January with half the gallery members, the other half will have February. In addition to our regular first Friday openings we'll be having poetry readings by those represented , January 17 and February 14m at 2 pm at the gallery. Should be a lovely collaborative couple of months! "In the Distance" "Walking in Treman Gorge"

I'm having a wonderful time making my architectural lines go 3-d. Working with acrylic skins and a combination of ink and acrylics, I'm able to achieve interesting texture without the heaviness of impasto. Think I'll stay here for a while.

Old school, yes, but I've never done smaller scale abstract pieces before. Will be showing a couple in February's Members Show at State of the Art. Also looking forward to installing show with Syau-Cheng Lai in Elmira for February!
