Back from NYC

I just got back an hour ago from a fun-filled week in NYC. Here is one of many photos taken on the night of the official opening of the "5 Identities, 5 Destinations" show at Ad Hoc Art in Brooklyn. I am standing in the gallery with one of my favorite nephews. I will blog more about my trip to NYC as soon as I catch my breath. (Photo was taken with his girlfriend's new IPhone.)

Shiori Matsumoto's New Work

 "Heart" painting copyright Shiori Matsumoto
My friend Shiori Matsumoto has some fantastic new paintings on her website. I like these two young girls peering out from circular golden frames. Dressed in beautiful costumes, they look ready to perform on stage.

My friends over at Femme Femme Femme just posted my new paintings, so I guess I might as well post them on my blog, too. I also just noticed that Ad Hoc Art gallery has the "5 Identities, 5 Destinations" show up on their website now, so if you want to see a preview of the seven paintings that I will be exhibiting in NYC (along with the work of 4 other fantastic women artists) go to Ad Hoc Art. These 3 paintings are part of that show - which opens Friday, July 25th (7-10pm) and continues through August 24th, 2008 (49 Bogart St, Brooklyn, NY). Contact the gallery if interested. Hope to see you at the opening!
And this is very cool: Ad Hoc Art had a show called "Poets of the Paste" that just closed. You can view that show on the Village Voice website.
