I'm honored to have been invited to hang a couple dozen of my oils and watercolors in the beautiful Ulysses Philomathic Library on Main Street in Trumansburg for November and December, 2019.

I was also invited to speak on my art career at the Library's Candlelight Dinner annual meeting of the library association, and chose to highlight the influence of my maternal grandmother, Florence Dennis, on the development of my work.

"Postcards"
Picture yourself in a 14th century Scottish chapel or on a Paris promenade. Explore Florence’s leatherworking district or a Tuscany hilltop town. Take a Thai water taxi or cruise the Java Sea. Hike the Grand Canyon, paddle an Adirondack pond…or just recall a hammock’s summer shade. View my recent oils alongside beautiful home furnishings and oriental rugs in Alan Nemcek’s shop in the DeWitt Mall, 215 N Cayuga St., Ithaca, NY.

Eight of us spent 9 gorgeous days in Gif-sur-Yvette, 30 minutes southwest of Paris. We stayed in a part of the beautiful former country estate of Wallace Simpson and Edward VIII (after his abdication). We spent part of our time painting, sketching, and pastelling on-site, and part of our time in Paris at museums, at, exhibitions, and just strolling around.

One of the highlights was attending the special Velasquez exhibition at the Grand Palais. The other was enjoying everyone's wonderful company. We hope to go back soon!
