happy new year ~ 2022
My first art exhibition of the year will be opening in January at Gallery Route One in Point Reyes Station, CA. The painting “Gold Seed” chosen by Juror Jack Fischer of SF, will be on view for the month and received another juror’s award of merit. Wishing for peace on earth for all in this new year of 2022!

I have been in Costa Rica for 3 weeks now, literally traveling from a blizzard to a wonderfully mad dry heat I’ve never known. I can’t say too much yet, being halfway out the door to the beach as usual. But from here I plan to travel north seeking art, permaculture, and various forms of tropical bliss. Internet connection may be few and far between, but it is quite possible I’ll be posting as the story unfolds.
