I will be having a solo art exhibition, Journeys, at the Town of Ballston Community Library from August 1 – 25. This exhibit will featuring 23 works, with a few pieces which are featured in my print-on-demand book, Medjuorje, A Personal Journey in Photography and Illustration. I am very pleased to for this opportunity to share my work at the Community Library. I have been creating art for a long time, and have put together my love of art with my love of traveling.
The Saratoga area and traveling are a big part of my life. I love creating lasting impression of special moments, events, places or objects. My images capture the fast-paced action and splendor of Saratoga. Living in Saratoga County all my life and attending the August track meet is a traditional part of my summer.
This exhibition will feature vivid scenery and images which come to life in vibrant color. Many of my inspirations come from my travels to Australia, England, France, and Italy. Her most recent works have been inspired by my pilgrimages to Medjugorje, a small town in Bosnia-Herzegovina. My range of works is from timid docile sheep, to stark monoliths of Stonehenge, to soft watercolor sunlight on the a rocky hill to vivid acrylic landscapes.
The Town of Ballston Community Library is located at 2 Lawmar Lane, Burnt Hills, NY. For more information call the Library at 518-399-8174.

Watercolor painting of Risen Christ, Medjugorje
Jesus Christ is Risen from the dead! Alleluia!
Christians, to the Paschal Victim
Offer your thankful praises!
A Lamb the sheep redeems;
Christ, who only is sinless,
Reconciles sinners to the Father.
Death and life have contended in that combat stupendous:
The Prince of life, who died, reigns immortal.
Speak, Mary, declaring
What you saw, wayfaring.
“The tomb of Christ, who is living,
The glory of Jesus’ resurrection;
Bright angels attesting,
The shroud and napkin resting.
Yes, Christ my hope is arisen;
To Galilee he goes before you.”
Christ indeed from death is risen, our new life obtaining.
Have mercy, victor King,ever reigning!
Amen. Alleluia!
– Sequence from Easter Sunday Mass March 27, 2016
The air is cool, the breeze is light.
The air is cool, the breeze is light.
The clouds in the sky are fluffy and white.
The flowers open to show their bright faces,
as the garden snail alongside paces.
The trees unfold their bright green leaves.
The spider a silken web she weaves.
The birds sing their notes high and clear.
Cheer up! Cheer up! Spring is here!
