Top Five Museums in NYC to Escape from COVID

Museum photos

Tired of sheltering and dealing with the cold weather?  We are all yearning when we can begin to do day trips, weekend gateways and make plans to new travel destinations.  A chance to breathe and enjoy the air of a new destination, a welcoming change to our immediate surroundings.    Spring can not arrive soon enough, as many of us are dealing with another dose of snowy, freezing weather. Once the temperature climbs to 40 degrees and hopefully vaccinated, I plan to get away for day trips to  New York City……..

Whoa…What’s Up With Those Funky Chalkboards?

Capture1

We all know that messaging in advertising is powerful in influencing us to purchase something that we didn’t need until they told you must desperately have this. One type of messaging that has drawn my attention for some time and that I enjoy taking photos of is those quirky sidewalk chalkboards that we bump into when strolling thru a commercial area. Today, there are chalkboards everywhere, not quite cluttering the street, yet enough of them to notice how unique they are at engaging an audience. Signs are quick to read and are both funny and……

The Allure of Escapism is Not Lost on Netflix’s Bridgerton

pic pf brdgeton 7 scaled

Over 80 million households have watched Netflix’s Bridgerton since December when it first aired.   The acclaimed Shonda Rhimes has proven that with a limitless budget and creative license she can deliver lavish storytelling that is both provocative and scintillating.   As someone who has always loved period stories, Bridgerton is a  weird combination of Jane Austen, Downtown Abby, and Dynasty. 

 So much elegance,  opulence,  backstabbing, gossiping, and let us not forget love-love-love. Ladies and gents looking for romance and marriage hoping that it brings them both status and happiness (especially status).   In a world of privilege, what could be more important than attending balls, parties, and events in search of the right marriage?  You get to experience the pressure and limitations imposed on these women to have their parents, and in this case, a brother decides…..

Looking Back at 2020…What’s Next?

Capture 1

Looking back,  I can’t remember a more turbulent and fearful time as this year has been.   You would have to be at least 115  years old to remember a worse time than 2020, whether it’s the 1918 Spanish flu, the 1940 great depression, or the fighting and rationing held during the two world wars.
What an incredible year … It seems so extraordinary as to seem impossible…..

A World Without Elephants…and We Only have Ourselves to Blame

IMG 3706 scaled

I recently came across a quote that both horrify and sadden me.  The quote was by Sir David Attenborough, a naturalist and well-known BBC broadcaster and environmentalist, which states the following “The question is are we happy to suppose that our children may never see an elephant except in a picture book?” Pretty devastating when you think of how much destruction we as human beings continue to extract on this planet…

As I continue to spotlight urban artists in understanding how they are surviving or thriving during this pandemic, I was encouraged by a colleague to meet Ricardo Roig. I was intrigued by Ricardo’s imaginative artistry and that he lives and works in Hoboken, NJ where he combines the best of what Japanese woodblock printing offers with his innovative paper cutting chops channeling a younger Henri Matisse…..

Miami: Seaplanes, Rising Sea Levels and a Booming Real Estate Market

IMG 0612 scaled

During my last trip to Miami before the recent peaks in COVID cases,  I took a flight on a seaplane with a couple of friends to explore the wonders of Miami’s spectacular coastline.  Emerald waters with sandy beaches and luxury high rises side by side offers the most captivating panorama landscape that will fill your eyes. The wow factor of taking off from the water into the sky where you can still smell the ocean as you are climbing up towards the clouds is indescribable.  My memories and photos will have me yearn to do this again…..

On my Facebook feed, I recently came across the work of an emerging artist named Armisey Smith who has taken on a uniquely challenging  COVID inspired art project and to my delight accepted to be part of my blog’s  Spotlight Artists Series #2.  When I first came across  Armisey’s recent COVID inspíred series entitled “ Side Eye, Pink Eye,” I was intrigued, and immediately connected emotionally with the pain that she was able to dramatize in the faces of these women….
