Not just a day, but  a year of Thanksgiving

Dear family, friends and colleagues,

I am truly thankful for you!

Your encouragement and patronage have been my energy, motivation and inspiration throughout this past year.

And, I am extra thankful and forever grateful for my beloved husband, Ward who has given me his endless support and rich blessings to pursue a career as an artist.

A few thankful milestones

Bietshorn, Switzerland

After starting the year with a bang off the wild coast of Ireland, I continued painting just as vigorously in the alps of Switzerland. I experienced the creme de la creme hospitality from my brother, Daniel and his beloved wife, Denise.

There is nothing more refreshing than to wake up each morning with a view from your bedroom window like I painted here.

Then on to the calm coast of the lovely village of Sag Harbor, NY for a summer with my daughter, Rebekah and her finance, Abe, executive chef at Baron's Cove. I enjoyed the warmest hospitality from both of them and, yes... many a treats from Baron's Cove. I loved my time in Sag Harbor. I met many great new friends and even left with some of my art hanging in local shops. 

.


And, yes again... Sag Harbor was good to me.  I produced many large pieces, of which two sold, Firm and Charleston.
