How do you feel about conceptual work dominating the art scene?
3 Replies
I mean, it's like the other kinds of art have gotten much less press, sunk into the shadows, so that conceptual projects which are more theatre than art, can be in the spotlight. And so much of the…Continue

Setting Priorities in a Money and Tech-Obsessed World

We have to be careful not to miss out on, neglect, ignore, sacrifice the precious aspects of life due to the increasing demands for a focus on technicalities, economics, and minutia. We have to…Continue

None of my artwork is digital
Profile Information
- About Me:
- Born and raised in New York City, I've been passionate about art since I was a kid, and through it I often symbolically acted out, explored my dreams and areas of conflict; it was art therapy of sorts, and this later led to my art therapy career, where I could help others do as I did. I have always been interested in all of the arts, psychology, spirituality, nature, and creative thinking. Art provides a mode of primal communication when I feel frustrated by the pressure to be verbal and conform to man-made rules.
- About My Art:
- I have a background in Art Therapy, Art History, and Studio Art. I incorporate my various interests (listed in "About Me" section) into my art, which primarily consists of mixed media collages, portraits, and expressionist watercolor paintings. Note - none of my artwork is digital or digitally altered. I have exhibited in many different venues around Philadelphia, plus the Anthroposophical Society of NYC (2008), the 1001 Artists digital screening of art at Scope Miami 2012 and the 2012 Art Takes Times Square outdoor digital screening of art in New York City (both events produced by ArtistsWanted). I also have my artwork entitled "Bugs on the March" featured in the Fall 2012 issue of the N.Y.U. literary magazine, The Minettta Review. I am looking to connect with likeminded artists and gallery owners...
- Studied? Exhibitions?
- New York University M.A. In Art Therapy, Hamilton College B.A. in Art History and Studio Art, summer sessions at Rhode Island School of Design, Art Students' League NYC, National Academy of Design NYC
- Favorite Music:
- a variety of stuff that includes Debussy, modern and contemporary acoustic jazz, New Wave

How to Tell if You Are in an Illusory Situation or Relationship
We're living in a time of much trickery and deception, on both a societal and personal level. We must learn to see through these deceptions, or else we will waste our time and energy pursuing illusory objects. Many people already have, and it's a tragedy.
These illusory perceptions can result…

Nature's Whisperings
Unlike the all too present electronic media, nature doesn't demand our attention or leave us overwhelmed with the chaos of fragmented infobytes. Rather, nature whispers....It draws us in, gently, encompassing us like a womb and simultaneously drawing us deeper within ourselves.

Pieces of a Li(f)e
Every time you knowingly or unknowingly deny your true Self for whatever reason, or are manipulated into doing things that go against your true nature(especially at a young and impressionable age), or are tricked into giving your power away, or are deceived in other ways, or get involved with the wrong people,…

You wanted to know how I got such a realistic effect, being, basically, self-taught - it is my nature, for one thing. All my life I have seen the small detail rather than the large picture (could read figures on a watch band that others thought was a line), and my early work was in a bank where every penny (as it was in those days) had to be accounted for, then mid life, I became an accountant where one had to be exact. But apart from that, I do use relatively small brushes, and lightly, rather than a heavy hand. Does that explain it? Betty
