This year I will write about my goals and aspirations, what I'm struggling with, what I'm getting better at, stories about my art, stories about my past, paintings in progress, things that I've learned. I will use my blog as a glimpse into my life, as a platform to tell stories and to let my collectors get to know me on a personal level.

National Gallery, London, UK, October 2010
The visit to the National Gallery was amazing. We were able to see work from the 13th to the 20th cantury of some of the most admired artists... Michelangelo, Raphael, Diego Velazquez, El Greco, Vincent van Gogh, Gogan, Leonardo da Vinci, Titian, Rembrandt..... I can't even remember them all... All I know is that I didn't want to leave. What a wonderful experience to share with my daughter, Niki.
