I am honored that my artwork “Wish Upon a Star” was chosen as a Finalist for the 2025 Canvas of Leadership contest presented by Aspen Leadership Seminars.
This piece was inspired by night sky watching, and the hundreds of billions of stars in the universe. Making a wish upon a star is a romantic idea, but it might be the beginning of pursuing goals once perceived to be nearly impossible.
I am grateful to contribute to this national conversation about art, leadership, and the ways we find meaning through both.

This painting is one of a series I am creating to explore the celestial world.

Anna's Oak Group Exhibit at Warwick Furnace Farm
810 Warwick Furnace Rd., Glemoore, PA
Anna's Oak was an est. 200 year old majestic tree that fell in the Thomas P. Bentley Nature Preserve in 2024. A portion of art sales benefit the French and Pickering Creeks Conservation Trust
This exhibit features multimedia artwork made using portions of the fallen tree - paintings, sculpture, furniture, and more-
I loved working with bark fragments from the tree. For "Summer Oak" I used the bark to stamp and print my canvas with pattern building an abstract image using oil paint and acrylic impasto.
My diptych work " Advice to my Younger Self" is a multimedia piece on two panels. I collage the actual bark fragments onto painted canvas. " Advice to my Younger Self" imagines the older tree in decay seeing a sapling nearby, sprouting from its roots, and beginning a dialogue as if trees were talking to one another.
Exhibit Opening:
Fri, October 17, 6pm--7:30 pm
$5 per person, reservations suggested
Free Open House:
Sat /Sun, October 18-19,
11 am to 4 pm
I will be there Friday evening, and on Saturday until 1 pm.
