Sketchbook - 6/13/25 - Paris

Looking out of my window on the street in the Marias in Paris.

Inspired by many arches

I arrived in Paris with my son on June 12, 2025. We took the metro to an Airbnb. I rented in the Marais. I don't think I would stay in that neighborhood.

Exciting news!

Seine, Marnay-sur-Seine, France 2011

I am doing an artist residency in the south of France this June. I will be there for two weeks and I am bringing my son Lucian. It will be his first time in Europe. I decided that I will be working with watercolors on paper doing landscapes and talking about moving in the world as a woman and an American at this moment in time. I'm very excited. Stay tuned!

These pictures are from the last residency I did in 2011 in France.

Favorite things: John Martyn

Have you ever heard of John Martyn? Maybe not. But, an amazing musician. Scottish/Jewish, died in Ireland in 2009 at age 60. Listen to this whole 2 hour compilation of his songs, and then tell me if you like it.

I discovered him from some other folks who post on Soundcloud, a long time ago.
