There is never too little time for beauty – especially with the promise of seeing a Klimt work in person on display in the town’s historic center. After a quick and delicious Umbrian lunch, my son and I sought out […]
More than a strict definition of personality types, astrology is an archetypal language to me. The ancient symbols of the 12 signs inspired my new Zodiac collection of oversized square silk “paintings”. It all began with black sumo ink and paper.

After the Studio visit, we were off in […]

For years, a group of dear friends from Greenwich and I had a post-Christmas ritual.
