Gallery Mondays: School Nurse
I just spent an hour and a half sitting at my computer with a post-nasal drip (ugh, that time of the year again) trying to find something in my photo collection for this week’s Gallery Mondays. So, I came up with this small framed piece of art I found in the Treasure Chest at Compass…

Gallery Mondays: ‘The Fault In Our Stars’ #MLKDayofService
On this sunny Martin Luther King Jr. Day, I volunteered with City Year New York at Patrick Henry Prep (PS/IS 171 Manhattan) to paint this book cover of John Green’s The Fault in Our Stars in one of the school’s stairwells for #MLKDayofService. I was invited to help out with #MLKDayofService by my guy, David. He served…

Gallery Mondays: Dancer at J. Hood Wright Recreation Center
Last week on Wednesday, I took a Strong by Zumba class at the J. Hood Wright Recreation Center in Washington Heights. To say that I was sore the next day is an understatement (thank GOD the next day ended up being a snow day!). When I walked into the room where the class would be…

Well I found another one, this time a “Peregrine Falcon” by Australian street artist Damien Mitchell! This mural can be found on St. Nicholas Ave. between W 147 and W 148 Street near the A, C,…

Gallery Mondays: We CAN Coexist
In the final minutes of the Canstruction NYC 2017 exhibit at Brookfield Place, I saw this amazing piece of can art called “We CAN Coexist”. I can’t stop thinking about it. Created by RAND Engineering & Architecture, the piece symbolizes a rainbow of differences. From the Jewish star, to Yin and Yang and the Cross…
