[/lightbox]Lately, I have been on a classic reading binge: Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights, and Frankenstein to name a few. I am sure I read these tomes in school, but somehow, any memory of the virtues these books possess that have allowed them to remain relevant and even gain in popularity through the generations had escaped me. Thus, my motivation to delve beneath the … Read More

[/lightbox]When I was first introduced to the work of contemporary painter Dana Schutz, I was overwhelmed by the impact of bright fantastical color on her canvases. I was stunned by the juxtaposition of seemingly discordant hues on a surface that seemed almost free of structure. Immediately, I thought of the early 20th century Fauves and the shift they ignited in the art world as … Read More

[/lightbox]Several years ago, on a family vacation in France, I took my history obsessed son on an excursion to Omaha Beach in Normandy. His passion at the time was everything he could learn about World War II and the parent in me felt compelled to give him this opportunity. Little did I realize the impact this memorial would have on my own familial vision. … Read More

[/lightbox]They say that indulgence is the original sin. I don’t agree. When I was married, child of the 60’s that I was, I shunned the whole elaborate wedding thing. I thought it “beneath” my bohemian lifestyle. Of course, I was in my 20’s and I was absolutely positive that I was right. I got married in City Hall. I could not rationalize the point of … Read More

[/lightbox]This morning it was the tulips and the bay
Clear inside a crisp May day
Today, I feel clean, like spring
Lifted from the gray wash of yesterday
This balance between the air and water and flower
Is so fragile and holds such power
Within one hour the train will move me away
And the city tide will flow in and steal my day
Shortly … Read More
