UKRAINE 2010 (first paintings of a new project)
Odessa and Yalta are rich with architecture worth painting; some of the facades are truly amazing, yet relatively unknown in the U.S.
PRAGUE
St Vitus Cathedral 1, First Prize 2008 Central NYS Watercolor Society
St. Vitus Cathedral 2, on its way to Phoenix for Arizona Watercolor Assn. national show. Everyone who visits Prague loves the city; its sacred architecture is inspiring and a challenge.
Cornell University
My husband has taught at Cornell for 45 years, continuing to instruct the largest class in the world, Psychology 101. I taught African Art at Cornell for a number of years as well. Our fates have been inextricably linked to the Cornell environment. Every year we see new students and returning alums, many of whom have become friends. We know this place well, including its secrets! From an aesthetic point of view Cornell is absolutely beautiful—from its natural setting on the eastern heights overlooking Lake Cayuga to its landscaped grounds and architecturally interesting building.
Northern Michigan
How could any place be as breathtaking in summer as upstate New York? Try northern Michigan in the “upper lower peninsula.” My husband is originally from Detroit, so Michigan remains in his blood. My first university teaching job was at Wayne State University in Detroit. Once introduced to the appeal of northern Michigan, its force becomes irresistible -- aquamarine waters, sugary sands, pine and birch forests and gently rolling hills, not to mention extraordinarily friendly people . I have painted here for many years, as we migrate to Charlevoix every summer for some rest and relaxation. For years I participated in a well-known summer art fair in Charlevoix, painting up a storm of images of the local landscape.

SOUTHWEST
Sampling of "cacti series." Spending time every year in Arizona has allowed me to play with southwest imagery in new ways.
