OK and o boy! My 20 page zine just arrived and here I am offering it to collectors and interested friends. Of course paper/labor/postage... prices have gone up but I can still get this to you for $27. I have a limited amount of them this time 'round, so if you want one, please let me know asap, sending a check to me at P.O.Box 221, Hillsboro, NM 88042. I am getting excited to see the work all up together at RioBravoFineArt Gallery in Truth or Consequences, NM next month, April through May 2025.

Artists' Directory for 2025, Truth or Consequences, NM ad page for ME!

2/20/2025

Every year I take out a full page ad in TorC's fun Artists' Directory. This is my ad for this year. The Directory comes out in March and I'm anxious to see it. My 2025 solo exhibit is at RioBravoFineArt and opens the second Saturday of April. The 12th, I'm thinking, from 6-9pm. And I am awaiting the proof of my 20 page booklet with images of the works so will also have that for sale at $25. (the $5. covers shipping).

It is the time of year when we need to realize how good our lives are. 

At this time I am readying work for my 2025 exhibition in April through March and am thankful to still be painting. I am 'mature' officially now (80 years) and also mature in my work. GRATEFUL!

In readying the work, I am also setting up a small, softbound booklet of ten or so images from the upcoming exhibit. Below is my proposed cover: GREY GARDEN. Acrylic and charcoal on canvas, 48x48". This is my latest painting and the last usually being my favorite. I am calling my exhibit MEDLEY because I have no common theme in all the work, just the common thread of the energy in my brush with the paint and drawing with charcoal in the works. 

You'll be hearing from me again as the exhibit nears. Thanks so much for your interest in my work! You make me smile.

Happy upcoming holiday time o'year!

The gallery, in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico has had their webmaster, William Brown, put together a Flip Book on me and my art. Hope you'll take a few moments to read my thoughts and enjoy the images. Below is a new piece, not in the book...

THE DANCE BEGINS

2/5/2024

0 Comments

 
Whoa, my new exhibit at RioBravoFineArt Gallery in Truth or Consequences opens Saturday, Feb 10th from 6-9pm. I even have an old pal from soCA coming to visit for it. Some of you will remember Randal Wong. We had good times back in the day.

I have about 24 paintings and some small sketches in the show and a 20 page booklet of photos of the pieces that can be purchased for $25. from the gallery. 

This is the statement I wrote for the front page: This exhibit, entitled THE DANCE BEGINS is just that. I have spent the last year and a half working/dancing between abstract and abstracted representation. I am inspired by the music I listen to, the poetry I read and life's wonders. It is in my nature to go back and forth, then leap ahead.... The studio provides me a place of challenges and rock and roll. In that space, I am content.
I'll post a few pieces below with all info and if you care to see a few more, check out the gallery's website: http://www.riobravofineartgallery.com/exhibition2024.html

The WINKLER COLLECTION exhibit coming up..September-November 2023

9/1/2023

I am exhibiting some of the collection my late husband, Winkler and I collected over 30 years. The exhibit is in Truth or Consequences, NM at Lunáticus Gallerie on Broadway in the heart of town. It opens on Sept. 9th at 5 pm and I will give a walk/talk through, informing what we knew about each artist. In the above picture, you'll notice larger than usual tags...info about the artists....
Picture
It may be tacky to say it but most of these pieces have been in storage in my garage for the 3 years since we downsized to a smaller living space. I dislike not having them out in the world and enjoyed by some, so am selling them at very low prices (sorry, living artists) because I don't want to continue hiding them. 90+% of the prices are much lower than what we paid for them but I figure we enjoyed them so much for so many years, I won't be losing anything in the big scheme of things.

I wish I could share all the pieces with you but you can get the gist of the eclectic mix of works we loved for 30 years! If you see anything here you think you cannot live without, please message me/reply to this blog for size, pricing... and we'll see if we can work it out. Note: Colette Hosmer's SLICK weighs a ton so would be quite pricy to ship.... include Hilderman's ELEANOR in that, too.

A sincere thank you for your time and consideration.

Still hot in Hillsboro, New Mexico, so I now paint early morning or late evening. Works just fine. 

Still working toward a few exhibitions for early 2024. One is a group show at the Branigan Cultural Center in Las Cruces where I will be exhibiting with The Border Artists. A themed show: PLACE. Here is one of the pieces I will have in that exhibit: WHEN THE DESERT CRIES. 30x30" on canvas.
Picture
Next is a February through March exhibit at RioBravoFineArt Gallery in Truth or Consequences, NM. There, I have asked a Las Cruces artist to join me in sharing the space. Raul Dorn is a painter and musician with Sister Black Lagoon. No theme in this show for me so I have gone a bit wild in painting anything and everything: abstracts and abstracted representation. I is a delight for me. Her are a few examples of work that will be shown then.

Yes, I even have a few mostly black and whites in the coming exhibit, too. Nolan gone wild. 
DISCLOSURE 29.5x40" acrylic and crayon & charcoal on wood panel.

These are just samples of the many pieces I will be exhibiting. I am always happy to presell work so if you have an interest in knowing prices for a purchase or lay away purchase (all through the gallery), just reply with questions. And remember, the pieces remain in NM until the show ends in late March. THANKS.

Still months to go but I am already excited to show the work!

It's HOT & I'm painting!

Yes, it is mighty hot and still dry in Hillsboro, New Mexico. And yes, my studio bakes daily. Just bought a little swamp cooler to make it easier for me, but to be honest, I have worked in it for 30 years now and the heat...?...once I start painting I just don't notice it much. I'm also working more with the lights on in the eve/night. Cool.

I have been painting larger pieces (it's relative, you know, think 40x40") on canvas of late and now I have started on a few 14x28" diptych pieces on cradled wood panels which don't need to be framed for that very contemporary look. Diptychs have mostly eluded my reasoning, so it's time to give them another try. Loving the challenge. 

I am working toward a February exhibit at RioBravoFineArt Gallery in Truth or Consequences, NM, in their BIG room. Always love to see all my work hanging together. I am usually amazed not only at my output but at the variety in which I use my brush, the palette (titanium white is a current favorite, then back to COLOR), the charcoal, the crayons d'ache and my fingers. Just a short share...now enjoy your summer.
