Glad to be accepted into the art exhibit, In Honor of Women, art inspired by women, at Stella’s Art Gallery, 38033 Euclid Avenue, Willoughby, OH 44094, (440) 266-9111, StellasArtGallery.com. Juror: Cathee Thomas. Reception and awards, March 10, 2023, 7-9pm, exhibit runs through April 1.
My painting, Ode to Suze, acrylic on canvas, wood, 12 x 12 inches, honors Suze Orman, successful author and personal finance expert.
I started listening to Suze Orman’s Women and Money podcast at the start of the pandemic on my walks, which has empowered me to learn and understand more about finances, and to gain confidence in my abilities to make my own financial choices. She has helped countless individuals in this area.

Wonderful Live Lemur Animal Life Drawing Session with @animallifedrawing Holly Surplice at Duke Lemur Center @dukelemurcenter with host Sara Clark. Live Coquerel’s Sifaka Lemurs and Ring-Tailed Lemurs in the woods. We watched them eat, groom, rest and nap. Beautiful creatures, and 50% of the session was donated to support the center. The animals gave the nod that they wanted to be left alone, so we sketched from photos that the center provided of a Black and White Ruffed Lemur and Blue-Eyed Black Lemurs.

This year I created and donated an ornament to the Waterloo Arts gallery auction fundraiser. The auction was to benefit Waterloo Arts.
The auction was held December 3, 2021 at Waterloo Arts, 15605 Waterloo Road, Cleveland, Ohio 44110. The creative, mostly handmade, ornaments can be viewed at https://waterlooarts.betterworld.org/auctions/art-ornament-2021
My design was based on the Guardians of Transportation –– a Cleveland landmark that are massive carved stone pylons which line the Hope Memorial Bridge downtown, and also the name of two Cleveland sports teams.
