My interview with Elena Maroulleti at Aktina FM

Today I had an interview with the marvelous Elena Marouletti from Aktina FM about my "Unbound" exhibition at the Paterson Museum.

The closing reception for my exhibition is in one week on August 11, 2019 from 1-4 PM.

there will be a poetry reading with poems by myself and NYC writer/poet Pratt Professor Jonathan Goodman at 2 PM.

All are welcome!

For many years, Elena has created and produced a bi-lingual greek/Greek America Station that is such a valuable resource for the NYC community and beyond!

I can not say how many times I have listed in to Aktina FM and how much it has guided me, particularly during stressful moments in my NYC life.

My interview with Elena Marouletti has been archived and one can listen in for the next week.

New work

This is a small Ampersand Clayboard I am working on.  I am etching into it (for now at least)  It is called "Bound White House" and is 4 x 6 inches.  I am combining my on-going obsession with both my inner and the outer worlds and the icon of 'hone'  in this piece.
