I am so happy October begins tomorrow. September was a very busy and hectic month. Wow, I hope you all survived it.
I don’t have a lot of time to work in the studio, but have a system – like many other artists – where I carry a small sketchbook with me. I use it to [...]
The day was just awakening when I ran this morning and passed the Brooklyn Promenade. The sunlight reflected on the water, the buildings in Lower Manhattan, the Statue of Liberty. What a beautiful day, this is such a magical place!
I recently read the Brooklyn Rail’s Tribute to Elizabeth Murray (1940–2007). It was so nice to [...]
One of my friends is teaching a web design class this semester. She gave her students a list of artists’ websites for them to look at. She emailed me a couple of days ago saying: “yours was very popular, especially among the girls. I think every single student used the words playful, unintimidating, and participation”. [...]
It was still dark at 6am this morning when I finally realized it – the summer is over! I love to wake up with the sun. I’ve been living in New York for a long time, but I don’t think my Caribbean blood will ever adapt to the change of seasons. It wasn’t until I [...]

I hope you all survived last week. So many openings, so many people. I couldn’t really look at the work during the openings. I will go back to the galleries to take a closer look very soon. My head is still spinning – and it doesn’t look like it is going to stop spinning this [...]
Thank you to the wonderful crowd that attended last night’s talk at NYU. It’s been four years – time goes by so fast! I had a great time last night and felt – as Pratt always makes me feel – at home. I left the gallery moved and inspired. The conversation was so real…and I [...]
My morning began cross-training at the gym which means I ran yesterday and there was no yoga class. I was energized (=anxious) by thinking about the amount of people I would see in my office today. I started my workout with a smile in the rowing machine. I moved to lift weights and started loosing [...]
I’m so happy I started art & life. I thought it was a crazy idea, but all your wonderful comments make me feel the idea isn’t as crazy as I thought. Your comments make me smile! I really appreciate you taking the time from your busy schedules to read it and to contact me. I’m [...]
