Thoughts while thinking & repeating

I originally posted this in 2018, my words remain beneath the snow and in the clouds

Elso the Propped, Inherits the Earth

This is my 12th clay story along the journey into sculpture. I love creating narratives through art.
You decide what Elso is roaring…

I am a loyal American & this is my CREDO

After getting through the news each morning, I read the Credo taped to my studio wall. This is the America I want my children to have. This is why I protest…why I write letters…

“In a time when labels are weaponized and dissent is recast as danger, I choose to define myself—before others try to do it for me.” —James B. Greenberg
James B. Greenberg’s Credo (James Substack entry, August 5, 2025)


How I’d love others to share Mr. Greenberg’s Credo – to keep us going – to keep us fighting back – to keep us AMERICAN

Dedicated to the Working Woman

You began working in a glass studio at fifteen. You were an artist. A talented woman, a kind-hearted creator, a towering beauty, an authentic environmentalist.

Decades later, I’d meet you as my future-mother-in-law, and we’d become the dearest of friends.

This post is dedicated to the working woman…


(I sketched Karole from an old photo – one I adore to this day. The 2 faded photo images are from Karole’s modeling days)

Can We Just Runaway…

A pencil sketch I made of my dear friend, DS Levy, when she was a child.
(Inspired by a childhood photo DS shared with me taken by a childhood friend)

The ‘poem’ above was written this morning after feeling overwhelmed by the news. I wrote it to remind myself that we can’t give up the fight for our country – a country where empathy, kindness, compassion, fairness, equity, science… – you know – the good stuff that makes us human – once prevailed

We are better than the sum of this current government
We are much better

Polli Protest Loves Gettin’ Into Good Trouble


Yesterday in Newburgh, New York
This was Polli’s first Good Trouble protest.
I tag along to make sure she doesn’t get into any other kind of trouble🙂
