World Oceans Day

 

Executive Director of the Amsterdam 
Whitney Gallery and me in front of my
 Ocean series work
Acrylic on canvasses --
(Me with Ruthie Tucker in her gallery
in New York City. I miss her, 
the gallery and New York City so 
much..)

Ten years ago this work, which was also featured in the
Florence Biennale was on view in New York.  It featured
a grouping from the Wonder Water Series.


Doing the Happy People move for
Miranda Brouwers who
started that idea with me at
The Florence Biennale in the
fall of 2015. Together we
 invigorated a good size group. 
And I was incredibly happy
to see the work in New York City!

The gallery attracts a great audience. Because my series
is based on the idea of saving the oceans, there were super 
discussions on that topic.

In the past ten years levels of ocean pollution have increased, wars,
manufacturing, climate change -- our oceans are in more trouble than
ever. Please vote for leaders who care about the environment.

I am thinking about revising the central diptych, or revisiting the theme.


Have a loving your life day!
