A Poem & A Painting: Side By Side
Aug 29 2016 ·0It’s hard to believe that Labor Day is just a week away! While the Summer days may be waning, paintings inspired by Summer last forever 🙂 . This week’s painting was inspired by a trip to Maine and actually originally appeared in a 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge I did back in September of 2014…
Webster Art Project at Webster & Co., Boston
Nov 19 2015 ·0“You may own the best gadgets, the coolest fashions, and the swiftest cars, but the next generation’s hipper iterations have already been imagined. When all else is replaced, repaired, expired, or obsolete only your paintings will remain and will say the most about who you are and what you value. “

Last week I attended the opening reception for this year’s Webster Art Project at the Webster & Co. Showroom located at the Boston Design Center. David Webster along with Marni Kaufman Katz (freelance writer/editor of Boston magazine) curated artwork by New England artists to display in the showroom. Not only do these vignettes beautifully showcase art pieces in real room settings, a portion of the proceeds from the sale of these works goes to support the Massachusetts College of Art & Design Scholarship Fund. What a genius concept!
Fearless Color, Part 2: The Family Room
Sep 16 2015 ·0The Color Party Continues! Last week I shared the Living Room space in this fabulous home. Today I present the Family Room. The Family Room is adjacent to, but separate from, the Living Room and open to the Kitchen (which I’ll be showing you soon). All the spaces co-exist nicely but each one has it’s own personality. Come take a peek…
Damn Ice Dams
Apr 22 2015 ·0Thankfully the warmer weather is finally making its way to New England ~ however slowly! The downside to the arrival of Spring is that now many thousands of homeowners have to repair the damage that the Winter of 2015 left behind. Miss K, a longtime client of mine (17 years!) is one of these affected homeowners. We met last week at her home and I saw firsthand the heartbreaking ruin caused by this year’s record-breaking winter.
When I first met Miss K, her 6,000 square foot home was all white: trim, walls and ceilings. She admitted that she was afraid of color ~ obviously we were meant to work together! I love color and the more of it the better. Over the years we have painted, installed 25’ custom built-ins, created draperies for every room and laid beautiful carpets. I enjoyed every minute of transforming this house into a home which reflected Miss K and her family. It was perfect (well, except for the Dining Room chandelier, but that’s another story).
However, what I saw when I returned to the home last week was not perfect, it was devastating.
A Poem & A Painting: Let It Snow
Jan 26 2015 ·0There’s nothing like a major blizzard to let me know I’m not in Las Vegas anymore! After the whirlwind that was BlogTour Vegas, being forced by Mother Nature to slow down and cozy up isn’t such a bad thing…as long as we don’t lose power. How could I not chose a ‘snowy’ poem for this week’s post…
Nothing Says Summer Like A Porch
Jun 12 2014 ·0Just in time for Summer, my dear friends Gina and Joe, have just completed a new porch at their seaside home.
I teased you last month with a few photos of the construction of the porch which was done by Morpheus. Let me just refresh your memory…

30 Paintings in 30 Days: Day 8
Jan 08 2014 ·0What am I thinking?? This one is a bit complicated for a one day challenge, especially with work all day and a night meeting! I wish I could have spent more time on this one, but then again the time restraint is keeping me “loose”.
