Into Richter's Woods


Into Richter's Woods
Oil on Wood
8"X10"

Wandering around SF MOMA yesterday all alone and then with a good friend was good for my frame of mind. Seeing groups of small children engaging with art made me feel hopeful. And the constant motion of figures ebbing and flowing through galleries was like a never ending dance, giving scale and meaning to monumental paintings.

Entering Stella's Space


Entering Stella's Space

Available for Sale Online HERE.

To escape the real world, I took myself to see "Frank Stella: A Retrospective," at the de Young Museum last week. I remembered exactly where I was in my college library thumbing through "ArtForum" magazine when I first saw Stella's paintings which were catching everyone's eye at the time. Knocked my socks off. New rules. No rules. It was the 60s. Anything was possible. It was inspiring then. And it is inspiring now. It was just the blast of light I needed to give this dark time a little perspective. Never give up Hope.
