Tis the time – tis the season – this Christmas Season – let it be – FIERCE JOY – we spread towards those who shun kindness, humanity, and you know – all the ideals we as humans should hold as close as Jacob Marley’s chains…
peace, love

A Little Girl Named Jess
Jess’s story appeared in the local newspaper when I was a young teen. She’d been badly burned in a house fire. The front page image had been black & white. Try as I might, I couldn’t purge Jess’s pain or her image from my head.
I honored her in my way. The painting I did remains with me, as she always has, hanging on a wall in my studio, where I tell Jess how beautiful she is.
It was this painting that taught me the meaning of art.
Welcome to Casino Limbo
Casino Limbo – Character No.3
Sculpt no. 11 – Casino Limbo
Lola Lupone (named after the tragic showgirl of Copacabana fame, & Patti LuPone, whom I adored from the very first time I saw her perform, Evita, in 1979) is the third of four characters living in my latest sculpt, Casino Limbo. Lola Lupone, though stuck in Casino Limbo, doesn’t seem to care where she is. Her mind remains in love with itself, and her heart remains infatuated with her head.
(I plan to post each character individually before posting the full tableau – as they’re not full-view once positioned ’round the table.)
Casino Limbo-Character No.2
Sculpt no. 11 – Casino Limbo
Wallace Traveller Esq. (My Wallace was inspired by Nick Park’s fabulously whimsical claymation characters, Wallace and Gromit) is the second of four characters living in my latest sculpt, Casino Limbo. After having travelled the world, Wallace Traveller is none the wiser. He is, however, quite cheerful and full of cheese. His carpet bag is packed to the brim with molding dairy products.
(I plan to post each character individually before posting the full tableau – as they’re not full-view once positioned ’round the table.)
Well, I’m back on Instagram again. Not sure where it will take me or my new sculpts, but we’ll see 😊

Character No.1 in Casino Limbo
Sculpt no. 11 – Casino Limbo
Dollie Roller-Reaper is one of four characters living in my latest sculpt. She adores delicious hot pink. She also enjoys drinking and roller skating while accompanying souls to their final resting seats at the Casino Limbo poker table.
(I plan to post each character individually before posting the full tableau – as they’re not full-view once positioned ’round the table.)
I tried to post the video that I posted on Facebook, but I can’t do so without paying extra. Truth be told😁I’m attempting to save my ill-gotten gains for when it’s my turn to visit Casino Limbo. I’m exploring ‘free’ options if any such exist.
If you’re on Facebook, you can view there if interested (my FB is set “private” – so you’ll need to friend request first, just let me know you’re from WP, and we can be buddies😊)
I’m also planning to resurrect some sort of Instagram. Apparently, I’m a sculptor now and ‘they’ tell me that Instagram is a great space for showcasing one’s work…

if you live in the US like me, I hope you’re managing the upside-down world we’ve flipped into
Hot Dogs and Red Paint
My mom loved hotdogs. A month after my dad passed, Keith and I took her to Dallas Hot Wieners, a charming little eatery in Saugerties, NY. A hotdog had made her smile that day. Afterward, we walked to Emerge Gallery.
Oddly enough, I created the image below in 2017, several years before Covid. This painting had been part of a group show, “Primar(il)y Red,” Emerge Gallery, Saugerties, NY.
“At the end of 2023 Emerge Gallery closed its physical space in Saugerties, NY, but continued hosting group shows virtually through the gallery shop on Artsy.net. The on-line shop offered a platform for the works of Hudson Valley artists to be viewed and purchased by collectors throughout the world.”
