A couple of years back I had a 3-month show at the Grand Army Plaza, Brooklyn Public Library. It was an honor. Displayed was my Brooklyn USA poster along with the 12 original collages created. Earlier this year, the woman that had selected my work emailed to ask if they could print a few of the collages, frame them and hang them along with my poster in a new restaurant being created. I said of course. Due to cut backs the restaurant had to be closed but all the art selected found it’s way to another gallery in the library. This past Sunday there was an opening and my husband went in my place since I was going to be away. If anyone stops by the library these are the times the work can be seen…weekends (Saturdays (12:30 – 6 pm) & Sundays (1 – 6 pm), Tuesdays and Thursday evenings (from 6:30 – 9:00 pm both days) for these are the times the Dweck Auditorium and lobby area is open to the public.

Last week my husband and I visited my aunt/uncle and cousins at there summer vacation home in Sunset Beach, North Carolina. It was so beaitiful and relaxing. Here are some photos that I took.











This is one of my favorite paintings by my husband- a dream “Face and Bull on the Diagonal”.

My friend Kathi created this piece of jewelry. You can view others on her new ETSY shop, Extinct Breath Blessing. Below is a description of her work in her own words.

This is one of 6 EXTINCT BREATH BLESSING pieces, cast by me from vintage mini rubber body parts. The detail on each one is amazing, please take a look and marvel!!
This is the biggest of the 4 hands I am offering, 3 inches long and quite thick (1 1/2 wide) and has a good weight to it! It is very solid and enclosed at the top. Sorry, the photo doesn’t really show how big it is, but it much bigger than the small hands I have on offer. This hand is brass, has a great weight to it (not too heavy, but more solide than the small hands on offer. Most people think they are gold because of the feel of the pieces). This hand is on a brass chain that hangs 18 in (total length includes the hand), sometimes 19. A small closure holds the necklace, (see photo) and a tiny tag engraved with EXTINCT BREATH BLESSING on it!
These are special pieces that I made to help me and others through this difficult time in the world.. I call them small blessings given to others or given to yourself… compassion, kindness, grounding us to remember what we are all made of… and what we are…

My husband recently finished this painting titled, “RBRB (River Bridge Road Bus). The painting is in oil and was created from the memory of a dream he had.

Yesterday the Spring BWAC show opened and there was a great turnout. Below is a photo of my husband, Bonifacio Montellano with his paintings, a couple of close-ups and some photos of the excellent musicians, The Loose Marbles.
