I'm delighted to be able to share the paintings from my Rainbow Bridge Oracle, as well as some of the "NUMINA - Masks for the Elemental Powers" collection at the Studio at 75 Broadway in Newburgh, New York this weekend.
Tomorrow, August 9th, I will be reading from my Deck at the Gallery. The Opening and Reception is from 6:00 to 8:00 on Saturday, August 10th, and will be followed by a performance of masks in the upstairs Gallery. If you are in the area, please come join Lisa Gervais, Holly Boughton-McPhee, and myself for a lovely evening!
Born innocent, one
- that’s I- strives hard to become
an adult, no longer childish,
worldly-wise in one’s art, one’s love,
one’s life…
Then discovers:
that no one ever becomes an adult,
becomes either delightfully childlike
or pitifully juvenile…
Discovers:
one’s art to be outside the art game
one’s faith outside the religious game
one’s love outside the sex game
Discovers:
one’s own little song and dares to sing it
in all variations, unsuited as it may be
for mass communication…
For perhaps here and there
someone will hear it
and listen and know
and say
Ah! Yes!

Art as a Way: A Return to the Spiritual Roots
On Sunday, August 11 at 6:30 at Newburgh Brewing, 88 Colden Street, Newburgh, N.Y. 12550, we will be introducing the documentary THE WORLD ACCORDING TO MONSANTO, a 2008 film directed by Marie-Monique Robin. Originally released in French as Le monde selon Monsanto, the film is based on Robin's three-year long investigation into the corporate practices around the world of the United States multinational corporation, Monsanto. The World According to Monsanto is also a book written by Marie-Monique Robin, winner of the Rachel Carson Prize (a Norwegian prize for female environmentalists), which has been translated into many languages.
