You Can’t Push the River

Hello everyone, it’s been some time since my last post. I have been busy painting and organizing shows, which I am excited to share with you.

In October 2025, I am doing a shared show with fellow Gallery A3 member Rochelle Shicoff. The name of our show is “Perspectives”,  a title which describes the political perspective (Rochelle) and the personal perspective (me). The title of my portion of the show is “You Can’t Push the River”, which I believe sums up my creative process.  The show runs from October 2 – November 1, 2025 at Gallery A3 in Amherst, MA. We will be having an online Art Forum on zoom on Thursday, October 16th at 7:30 p.m., where we will talk about our work. Here is the link to register for the Forum https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/sBDIRKO9RMWlaQBtUG-02g#/registration

Then in November 2025, I will be a part of a group show at what used to be called Cooley Dickinson Hospital, but which is now called Mass General  Brigham in Northampton, MA. Our work will be displayed throughout the hospital and I am happy to be a part of this group.

In December, I will be part of a group show at Gallery A3. It is our annual Small Wonders show, where one can buy gifts for the holidays. It’s an effervescent show, which showcases small works, all about 12″ x 12”.

In February 2026, I will be part of another group show at Gallery A3, called “Winter Garden: At the Darkest Moment comes the Light”. The work will represent  everyone’s take on that theme.

In March, 2026, you will be able to see my work in a solo show at Sunderland Library, Sunderland MA. I haven’t named that show yet, so keep an eye on this space, as I will get that information to you soon.

After March, I will be taking a breather from my public shows. It takes a lot of work to organize these shows and takes me away from my real love which is creating. I am so drawn to the process of creating and find it so interesting and in all honesty very close to magic. How something comes onto the paper or canvas, which means something to me and then somehow means something to others is an amazing occurrence.

Stories I Tell Myself

Stories I Tell Myself will be at Gallery A3, Amherst MA May 2-June 1 2024. The show consists of mostly new work that touches on feelings of love, loss, fear, sadness, and  joy. There is usually a psychological or spiritual component to the work and it is either semi-representational or abstract. 2/3 of the work is new and has been made since my last solo show in 2020.
