Gettin’ Busy

After a fair amount of after-the-holidays recharging, I’m back to the studio.

Ignoring my sweet blog, ignoring chores — my determination to refill the coffers with big, glorious paintings, has kept me busy. Rather than write about it, I think I’ll share some studio shots of my work in progress.

I've started so many paintings with the intention of limiting my palette to shades of white…

… as you can see, color seduces me every time!

These two started out so similar…

… now they're heading in different directions. We'll see where they end up!

This Week’s West of Chelsea: Lori Field

I was delighted to interview Lori Field for my latest West of Chelsea installment for the New York Times Local!

I talked with her about her new gallery in Chelsea (Claire Oliver), her background as a textile designer and illustrator, what inspires her creations, and her “Secret Drawer.”

Stop by and read for yourself how this New Jersey artist traversed the Hudson and wound up on the inside, looking out.
