Finishing up a few more of these little #mixedmediaonpanel , 10”x10”, to head to Pittsburgh at the end of the month for my September exhibition titled Reciprocal Relationships @boxheartgallery Working on this smaller scale has been an intimate exchange- up close, watching time melt away the #compost, with spring bringing new growth, when time seems as if it is the summer in surplus and simultaneously absent. Sometimes the process is quick, sometimes it thick. #compostart #flowerpainting #compostpainting #growthanddecay #pittsburghart #brooklynartist #womenartists #mixedmedia #lemonsandlimes #paintingleaves (at Brooklyn, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCrRQpoFGhU/?igshid=143qa55d2hfom

#compostdrawing + composting questions!? Happy Earth Day - lets nourish the things that nourish us. Today the sun, a slow walk, a new moon, yoga, a movement drawing class and some creative juice really helped me out- I hope you felt it too a and 🤞it continues. This was a super day for me. Now....you may have heard this week #dsny sadly has temporarily suspended curbside and drop-off compost collections. I totally get the need and look forward to it’s return (nyc is lucky to have it in the places we do....look forward to expand in the reopen). In the meantime I will still be saving, freezing, and continue with my #compostpainting - so THOUGHTS? 1) any bklyn peps with yards compost? I could do a SD bike ride over with my little bag to contribute? 2) any thoughts on apt composting- I’m up for buying worms but I don’t think the bin would turn over quickly enough ? Thanks be been reading up but some thoughts would be super appreciated Today is my last #brownbin pickup- check @nycsanitation to see when yours is- suppose to restart in July (at Brooklyn, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_TrcP6l0jL/?igshid=7k9mw45z6esd

Everything is Better with Lemon- even the Autumn Harvest. yup , actually titled this #compostpainting immediately upon completion. 10” x 10” #acryliconpanel #fertilization Always thinking about how our external environment mirrors our interior. Beauty in the #growthanddecay - sometimes my work finds #symbioticrelationship and sometimes #parasitic #compostdrawing #contemporarypainting #brooklynart #youarewhatyoueat #stilllifeportrait #foodportrait #nycbrownbin (at Brooklyn, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-xq-QQFGFd/?igshid=k5nhl4tvrjca

Melting away quickly #stilllife #markerdrawing - forces me to work quickly to prep for next #compostpainting and a good way to start the week- warming up....or at least trying to 🤞 https://www.instagram.com/p/B-pZeNelQSg/?igshid=14yfvonmh5wuz

I started #compostdrawings last summer.....then other projects took over but I’m back at them - well I suppose #compostpainting now. Like many in NYC - and hopefully more- I freeze my compost as I go- before bringing it out to the #brownbin . After years, now all I see are beautiful frozen sculptures. Before I got to this first one - I apparently needed to get the second painting out of my system:) #decayingart #youarewhatyoueat #fertilizer #foodart #contemporarypainting #stilllife #whatremains #growthanddecay #smallpainting #stilllifepainting https://www.instagram.com/p/B-NMl5bF1nC/?igshid=upq1b09wgt8t
