Upcoming Exhibit

Aloha! I've been very busy renovating my studio and preparing for the upcoming show. If you did not receive one of my holiday cards it is because I do not have your snail mail. If you want to be on that list then send me your mailing address and you will be added. I usually send 2 postcards per year and the annual newsletter. Hope to see you all at the reception this week.

Stockbridge Coffee & Tea on Elm Street in Stockbridge, MA. Reception starts at 6:30 pm. I'm sure the exhibit will be up much longer if you can't make it.

A Bientot!

Reality Behind the Skin

Reality Behind the Skin

6 x 12 x 1 1/2 Oil on Canvas

No longer available

I just love eggplants! They are one of the most sexiest fruits ever! This one came from my garden and although I have created a kind of still life hear it is really a piece with much more depth to it. The shadow expresses the inner essence and life force of the fruit and was a joy to paint. I made up the back ground and colors were picked by intuitive means.

It's a keeper! but other work available at www.sophiemuseum.com

The Fat Eggplant

The Fat Eggplant

8 x 8 x 1 1/2 Oil on Canvas

$125

Aloha & Happy Friday! I picked up this well rounded eggplant at our local farmers market because I fell in love with it's shape color and size. I love going to the farmer's market where every piece is organic and different. This eggplant seemed to radiate vitality to me hence the red auric body I revealed to you on the canvas...

Have a great weekend!

Give the Gift of Art, Sponsor A Charity

Purchase any pieces you want for the charities you love and be their sponsor. I currently work with the Art Connection of Providence and have donations at Ronald McDonald House and Rhode Island Free Clinic with more in the works. Locally, Lenox Children's Center, Terpsichore Dance Center, Canterella Dance Center and Shakespeare & Company. You can designate a different place to ship the pieces and improve the lives of many by making a donation of art just like I do ! Be a giver, because givers gain (:

LOVE IT OR EXCHANGE IT!

That's right. You're not happy, then I'm not happy. There's nothing worse than buying something, getting it home and not loving it. Seriously, has this ever happened to you before? I get it so here's my policy... If you don't absolutely love it then I'll exchange it for a piece that will work for you. Now if you absolutely hate it I will do a refund. And when you send it back you have to write "I HATE THIS PIECE". That simple.

We agree that shipping costs (and selling costs if a refund) are your only risk. I made these pieces from the love in my heart channeled through my hands. If you're not feeling it, return it!
