The Green Sea of Encouragement

I was very honored today. Bruce Hartman, Curator of The Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art came to visit my home and studio. We are connected through the art world, though mainly through my sister Cynthia and brother-in-law Michael. It is just amazing where life takes you; this visit is a life changing experience for me and I cannot express enough the validation that came from this meeting with Bruce.

Green is such a calm motivator to me, and a visitor can also have the same sort of encouragement.
Wishing you all the best!

I just found your blog. Wow, I love your work. My favorite is the painting under the Golden Glow Giveaway. It's very soothing. My husband and I love art. I wish I had your talent. I'm sure Mr. Hartman recognized your gift as well.
