Summer Studio Visit, August 10, 2022



This summer has brought a lot of wonderful opportunities and unexpected fulfillment. Aside from my Plein Air painting and drawing practice, I was also awarded an Honorable Mention prize for my work, Dueling Cajals, in the 2022 Art of Neuroscience competition out of the Netherlands. The end of July was capped off with some unexpected good news and a tremendous opportunity. I was elected to the Board of Directors of the long-standing prestigious organization, the Cajal Club, founded in 1947 by Wendell Krieg. As a board member, I will serve as the organization's Golgi Apparatus, which means I am their webmaster. During the last week of July and the first week of August, I invested time in giving their website an overhaul: hard work and collaboration with top, internationally renowned Neuroscientists I have admired for years. It is a tremendous honor to redesign and maintain their website.


You can learn more about my summer adventures in the thematic sections below.

Summertime Drawing Board



This summer, my studio practice consisted of completing many drawings of the Rodin exhibition that was on view at the Columbia Museum of Art, outdoor Plein air sketching at the Riverbanks Zoo, and a then fusion of both processes in my studio. This photo essay contains a sample of all of the processes, plus some drawings of Rodin statues that I completed in Madrid (those drawings have an orange background.) This summer's CMA Rodin drawings either have a white or yellow background.


I have called this essay a "drawing board," rather than a sketchbook, because once back in the studio - I was able to take the many artworks further. Click on the reel links above to learn more about the processes for thematic works.
