Curator extraordinaire Kate Fleming with my daughter Kellin at a previous show at the Gallery at 38 Cameron
A curator who knows her stuff is a great gift to an artist. Thank you to powerhouse Kate Fleming for pulling my work together in such an exemplary way for my show at 38 Cameron. She created a harmonic flow that is dynamic and yet soothing, lively and yet restful. As she assembled this show of nearly 50 paintings, I kept having the feeling that I was encountering my own works fresh, for the first time. I love that sense of seeing something familiar with new eyes.
In keeping with the paradox that is at the essence of all of life, this show has its own set of energies pulling in opposite directions. After this exhibit comes down in December, the gallery will be closing its doors. It has been five years of blending art and community in an unexpected fashion, and I am sad to see it come to an end.
The comings, the goings…I hold to the wise advice of Angeles Arrien: Be open to outcome, not attached to outcome. And that is useful advice for more than a gallery’s last run.

“I hold to the wise advice of Angeles Arrien: Be open to outcome, not attached to outcome.” I like it, I like it.
Congratulations on another showing of your dynamic work!
This was one perfect venue for your work — there will be many others. It’ll be a beautiful way for them to finish up. I hope Kate Fleming continues elsewhere in her curatorial capacity, and that your artist-colleagues at 38 Cameron will find new gallery homes. I’ll be interested to know what walls are next for you in the Boston/Cambridge area — they’ve got you covered on the Cape.
The painting seems to have a halo around it, doesn’t it? Love the oranges and golds and ambers of the close-up. Orange is a powerful color.
