The historic Holden House has lent new dimensions to my paintings. I’d never seen these hanging in a home before, only the sterile white walls of galleries. They really went hand in hand with the space. This exhibition will be ongoing through October 2024. Holden House, located at 85 Grand Street in Newburgh, gallery hours are Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday 12 noon to 5:00pm.
Regarding A Frivolous Frolic opening reception, April 12, 2024:
Last night at the opening reception I had a first experience—of witnessing a person brought to tears while viewing my painting, ‘Out of the Cage.’ He was looking at it and describing it a little bit, because it’s so cheerful and colorful that at first, you don’t quite realize why it’s so unsettling. He said, “oh, I see it… someone escaped from the cage.” I shared with him the secret of this painting, that it’s a woman hidden in the trees, and she has wings. She is free now. He got the message and began to weep in front of me. We embraced. I thanked him and tried to express how honored I felt. This is why I started doing this to begin with, and I had forgotten amidst all the now quieted noise. This is why I came here to do this. This.
