I've been through it -- and now I help women navigate life after loss, find their footing, and create something beautifully new.

I have dense breast tissue. Have had for decades. I had no idea that anything was amiss. They found a suspicious spot on the right side during my annual mammogram last October. That was a first, but I’d had ultrasounds and diagnostic mammograms before. The biopsy though? That too was new. I was so lucky. It was the best combination of factors, found early, and very, very small. No chemo, finished radiation in 5 days. Kept a cool head throughout, which helped enormously.

Schedule those scans, ladies. Like clockwork.

Oh my goodness what a night! There was a great turnout Mag Park Studio tonight for their grand opening and the opening of Flourish: Art BeCause!

I’m grateful to The Bored Baker and shannianigans_2.0 for surprising me at tonight’s show. I love you both and am so grateful for your support!

This was a fun surprise! I hadn’t seen Maggie Gottlieb in years, and there she was, just walking down the street…and heading to the same gallery. Lovely to see you all!

Sis had a great time wandering around and she built up her art collection with some prints. Cousin Sally Dye Chew we really need to get our act together and take pictures next time! Thanks for coming by!

35 local artists. 75 paintings. The cutest husband.

Clown car ussie with my old friend Brian Wilson and his lovely wife Rosalva!

Me & my sweet boo. Thank you, babe, for all your support, and for color coordinating with the Emotional Kraken. I love you the whole amount! ♥️

Felt cute. Won’t delete. “Once a diva, always a diva.”

My favorite thing about the artist life is the same as in my opera life: the people I meet.

I dropped my baby off with Danny & Maggie at Umico 海 in Atwater Village this afternoon to have her framed. (Carol at Baller Art on Tracy recommended Umico when she couldn’t meet my deadline.) She’s getting ready for “Flourish: Art BeCause,” a benefit group show at Mag Park Studio, which opens on 9/25. This is going to be a cool show — the artists have all chosen a charity, supporting either Art, Animals, the Environment, or People. I chose People and L.A. Neighbors Support Fund, which is helping families devastated by ICE raids and illegal arrests. Everyone deserves due process. LANSF is supporting folks who’ve been denied that right, and I pray that my painting finds her forever home so Mag Park Studio & I can help LANSF with their work.

Life is all about the connections we make and the communities we build.

A year of firsts, apparently.

First art fair. First invited art show. First podcast conversation…about my art, no less. First magazine feature, in Monochromica’s pink edition. First juried art show selection.

This is what happened when I stopped waiting to feel ready and started submitting, pitching, showing up anyway. I’ve gotten good mileage out of “do it scared” this year. (If I can do this, you can do your equivalent, too!)

The magazine feature is the one that still doesn’t feel real yet. My art, in print, in someone else’s hands.

For my friends in NELA, Glendale, Pasadena, & surrounding area: The Women’s Twentieth Century Club of Eagle Rock is collecting gently used books this Sunday from 11am to 4pm at 5105 Hermosa Ave., to distribute them to folks who need them. Beat the heat with gelato from Nectarine Catering!

If you can’t make it but have books to donate, DM me and we’ll figure out a handoff. Let’s make Queen Dolly proud!
