SOLD
This is the awesome new home of one of my favorite paintings of NYC called “Still Hangin’ On” inspired by the struggle between Coney Island lovers, dwellers and staff and the developers who want to tear it all down and build condos.
Merry Christmas!
To all my family, friends, fans, colleagues, those who’ve helped me, those who I’ve helped, and everyone else not necessarily in those categories…MERRY CHRISTMAS, HAPPY HOLIDAYS and best wishes for a stellar New Year!

This is a piece I just found out I sold from the Younity “Fresher” group show this month. 🙂 I’m so sorry I wasn’t able to personally attend, because the Younity shows are always one of my favorite shows of the whole year. And it’s such an honor to be part of that collective and have the opportunity to participate in shows with so many amazing woman artists.
Some of Me Stays in Brooklyn…
My “Is This What You Want” painting is now being used on the Brooklyn Art Project’s membership signup form! That makes me extremely happy.
Back story: The first thing I did when I moved to Brooklyn a few years ago was an internet search for “brooklyn + art”. What came up was BrooklynArtProject.com. It was relatively new at that time. Of COURSE I signed up IMMEDIATELY. I met the owners, Anthony and James Cospito, and we all became friends. Instantly I felt like I was part of something in Brooklyn, part of the art movement, part of a good group of creative people, and no longer some random individual trying to make something happen in NYC alone. I went to their events, met a TON of amazing new and talented friends, and was involved in several group shows with them. When I moved away a month ago, I was silently worried about not being part of BAP anymore. I tried not to think about it, but I was definitely hoping I could still figure out a way to be part of it all, and hoping that they wouldn’t forget all about me.
Since I’ve moved I’ve been invited to a show with Brooklyn Art Project as well as this new feature on their website. So I realize now that location has no effect on our relationship, except that it makes it a bit tougher for me to stop by the studio or drop off/pick up paintings. But to be honest, I’ve never been very good at those things anyway. 😉
NOTE: If you’re an artist, or you just like art, check out brooklynartproject.com. sign up, make friends, collaborate, do things and make stuff!
