Zara Dolukhanova sings Charlotte’s Air des Larmes from Massenet’s WERTHER.
Zara Dolukhanova – Air des Larmes – WERTHER
“Go! Let my tears flow…they do me good, my dear! The tears that are left unshed sink back into our souls…their steady drops hammer the despairing heart which becomes hollow and weak…and too soon breaks.”

Twenty Years in Gotham
March 28th, 2018 – Twenty years ago today, I moved to New York City. This was the first photo taken of me after I settled in at the studio on Perry Street.
Around 1995, I had started to lay definite plans for leaving Hartford and living in my dream city; my goal had been to do it prior to my 50th birthday, and I made it with three months to spare. About three weeks after I’d moved here, I met Wei…and the rest is history.

Hockney @ The Met Museum
If you’re in New York City, please take the time to visit the David Hockney exhibit at The Metropolitan Museum of Art; it runs thru February 25th, 2018. My friend Debbie and I were there earlier today and we both genuinely enjoyed seeing representative works from the various ‘eras’ of Hockney’s career. I particularly loved all the shades of blue on his canvases.

Our Mother Who Art In Heaven

The Age of Women is upon us. All during this year that is about to end, I have felt more urgently than ever that it is time for the women of the world to rise up and seize the power that is within their grasp.
Worldwide, the ratio of male to female is essentially 50-50; here in the USA, women outnumber men. Yet in the US Congress, only 20% of those serving are female. It is time for that to change, and for women to become fully represented in the halls of government on the local, state, and national levels.
I don’t believe in “god”, but I could definitely embrace a female deity, for only a female could have created the universe: men tend to destroy, but women are nurturers.
So let us now turn away from the old beliefs and find our future instead under the benevolent gaze of that goddess, also known as Mother Nature.
