Thank you to restaurateurs Jenner Tomaska and Katrina Bravo for showing my work in as the debut artist at of one of Chicago’s most exquisite restaurants. In Augustt, Esmé opened with two pieces from my first residency in Ojai, CA, A Snail in the Orchard and So Long for Now, not Forever, plus a piece I began on the eve of completed at the height of pandemic lockdown, 19-’20 Abstraction. After both Ojai paintings sold, we installed a second group through December 31, including two pieces from the Bonbonnerie series painted on an artist residency in the Loire Valley and Degas Fire Dance, a piece inspired by a formative trip to France and a dream. Upon their arrival, guests of Esmé are treated to a glass of champagne and a visit with I .Enter the Fox, the first work in a new series I began last summer, in an impromptu indoor / studio at the Indiana Dunes National Park.
