In a rather adventurous turn for me, I took out my passport and headed to suburbia in order to see an exhibit of Berthe Morisot at the Dulwich Picture Gallery, which was on the edges of my consciousness for having held a British Surrealism exhibit some few years ago featuring of course Carrington and others….

Leonora Carrington: Revelation
I said an embarrassment of riches around Leonora Carrington, didn’t I? Well here’s glory for you: the catalogue from the exhibit this year that brought to public view many parts of her life that have not been seen before (if you’re not someone like Joanna Moorhead who did get to see them) like her home…
Betye, Izzy, QoE & Me in Boston
I ran up to Boston with the Queen of Everything AKA the fabulous Stephanie to catch the Betye Saar exhibit at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. I think I first saw her work when I was living in L.A. but I don’t recall a whole exhibit devoted to her. What magnificence to see so much…
Welcome, Claverack Giant!
Who is the Claverack Giant? I am happy to reveal that I have received a CREATE Artist Grant for 2023 for a digital media art project ‘The Claverack Giant’ which is inspired by local folklore, archeology, a little fanaticism, poetry, and a good dollop of mystery. From my application: Did giants roam the Hudson Valley…

Pomegranate at Albany Film Fest
Wow, my first fest film! My experimental short Pomegranate will be part of the NYS Writers Institute Albany Film Festival on April 1st (yes, really — despite that date). This is exciting for me. Maybe I shouldn’t have turned down that filmmaking scholarship all those years ago (long story) but as with all things that…
Stepping Out of History
The new exhibition at CREATE Gallery opens this weekend celebrating Women’s History Month and including a broad variety of women and women-identifying artists and work in every format and medium. I have two pieces in it! A digital photo ‘She Dances’ — an impressionistic portrait of the moon — and my short film ‘A Fire…
Leonor Fini at the Kasmin Gallery
Fabulous jaunt to the city with art partner in crime, Stephanie, to see the Fini works at the Kasmin Gallery and enjoy a nice long chat over a fab lunch at the Mermaid Café and a little Chelsea thrifting. Here’s the list of all the works on display. It was verrrrrry cold so not a…
Around the V&A
A nice wander yesterday as I had to return my library books anyway. Some dramatic skies, a mooch through the V&A — which reminds me, I don’t think I ever posted the pictures from the Michael Clark exhibit — to say nothing of Venice! I wouldn’t say life is settling down but I may finally…
