In May, I moved to Falls Church, and in September I moved to a different apartment in the same building, that is a bit larger.  It was just as much work as the first move, but well worth it.  Now I have a balcony, and I can put my bird bath (by Tom Torrens) out on it.  I have already had some visitors!

It is wonderful here! I can walk to almost everywhere, or take a bus, or the Metro.

I am volunteering at a non-profit theatre group, helping make costumes and scenery.  I am also making some friends.  And of course, I am still the President of the Society of Gilders, which is a labor of love.

My studio and sewing room are completely unpacked, and I now have room for everything.

I hope to soon have some new artwork to share with you.  The only down side is that I now have to charge 6% tax on everything.  In Rhode Island, original artwork was not taxed. 

Meanwhile, take a look at the “Current” work that is available now; I am ready to ship everything.

Stay well!

In order to be closer to family, I have moved! I am now in Falls Church, VA. 

It is lovely here, and I am unpacking and getting to know the neighborhood. 

This is how things look at present:

And that’s just one room!  But I am getting my studio area set up, and I hope to be back to work and taking commissions soon. 

Stay well!

As always, I hope you are all well.  I have been dealing with the confinement by working and learning, and I sometimes achieve a result worth sharing.

I have just completed a new piece of artwork, “Emet – the Mobius Strip”.

Read all about it by clicking on the name or heading to Artwork > Current work.  Here is a  small picture.

I have also added a new tab to my website, called “Books”.  It is a list of the books that feature my work, and, as I have duplicates of these books, which are now out of print, I have decided to sell them.  Click on “Books” above.

I hope you are all doing as well as can be expected under the circumstances! I give thanks for several family members who have experienced miraculous recoveries. 

Lately, I have turned to a more festive subject – Chanukah!  We light the first candle on the night of Dec 10, and the eighth on Dec 17.

On the page “Chanukah Gifts“, you will find my new Chanukah masks, a door ornament, and my original designs of cards and wine charms . (2021 note – masks and wine charms are no longer available)

Not to pressure you, but between the time it may take to fill your order, and the vagaries of the post office, the sooner you order, the more likely everything will arrive before Chanukah!

If you are clergy, a teacher, or  in healthcare, you can use the coupon at checkout for 10% off.

I am also happy to note that my piece “Shaddai“, was accepted to the juried show ” 34th Annual Rhode Island Open “, at the Warwick Museum of Art,  which will run from October 21-Nov 28, 2020.

Stay well everyone and Happy Chanukah!
