I’ve been working on this for a while, going slowly. It’s not done yet but close. ☺️

What I saw on my walk this evening. 🌅🌆😌

Artist Joan Mitchell with a poodle at the beach

Cover of book, "Joan Mitchell and her dogs"

🚨ARTIST'S DOGS ALERT🚨
Breaking news: today I learned that French publisher Norma Éditions has a book out on influential painter Joan Mitchell and her dogs, and that an edition in English is forthcoming later this year. Here's Mitchell at the beach with her poodle, Georges du Soleil

Lately I’ve been dealing with bad fatigue so today I had some energy to iron the linen and wrap it around wood panel to start working on a new piece for the series on the wall. Maybe you remember the first two. I have two more ideas to complete the series.

New small works coming soon, stay tuned! ☁️☁️☁️

Love calm and quiet weekends. 😌

Today’s studio visitor ✨

Yesterday as soon as I felt better I went to Art on Paper NY fair in its last day to see my work in person and other artworks as well. I was so emotional. I always wanted to participate and be part of this fair. Big thanks to Uprise Art gallery again. 🥰🌿✨

So excited to share the photos from the Art on Paper NY fair. You can see my new works in person at Uprise Art Gallery, Booth G03.

Started something new with cray pastels inspired from Dodder plants.

I can’t wait to wear my cozy sweaters. ☺️🥲

Why it isn’t fall yet?! 🥲 I just miss the crisp air. Chilly weather. Colorful trees.

Swiss-French architectural designer, painter and writer Le Corbusier

Muralnomad Tapestry ‘Les Musiciennes’, 1953

Le Corbusier viewed tapestry as a medium in its own right, intended to be easily detached, carried under one’s arm and hung elsewhere.

While at the beach, I took this image of sand and weeds because I saw all kinds of different things in there. As photographers, we do that a lot don't we? 😉

Quiet day in the studio. I’ve been working on some new ideas, testing some mediums, trying to decide which way to create my next pieces. It is always slow process to wait for the patches to dry, to see the trial results.

It's been a while since I came back to check here, I have been busy in my studio creating drawings for the upcoming Art on Paper NY. I will be showing ten new works with Uprise Art gallery in September. Stay tuned! : )

I named this one “Sitting Under the Summer Sun”, dreamy blue, feels like floating in the sky, taking a moment and imagining myself sitting on that chair. Art is for the upcoming show at Uprise Art gallery this autumn.
