Several years ago I took my daughter to "The Art of the Brick" exhibition in New York City. At first, my husband and I were pretty skeptical about how interesting it would be. What could you possibly do with Legos that hasn't been done before? We had been to the Legoland in Yonkers, where whole... Continue Reading →
A few years ago, I was fortunate enough to have a chance to display my artwork at the "Art of the Brain" exhibition organized by my former graduate school. There was a reception held on the opening night and there was a big crowd of people. At the time, I was a bit surprised by... Continue Reading →
After a brief hiatus earlier this year, I am back at my art table. I am not sure what was going on with me over the past couple of months, but I just couldn’t bring myself to start a new project. I have been marinating a few ideas and deciding on the best technical approach.... Continue Reading →

I finished “Muted Potential” in early March, but I just couldn’t bring myself to start a new project. I have been marinating... Continue Reading →
Juggling work, kids and NeuroBead, I often sit down to write a blog post in unusual places. This week for example, I am writing from my daughter’s gymnastics studio, where I get an hour of peace and quiet while she is in class. Just as I sat down and started looking through my notes about... Continue Reading →
Finally. Introducing my first completed project of 2021 - “Muted Potential”! While initially I was surprised that it took less than 2 months to complete the beadwork, I then took my sweet time assembling it and taking pictures. Guilty. As you may have read in some of my earlier posts, the cellular pattern is based... Continue Reading →

He was talking about his new book "The Practice", which is a collection of small snippets about how creating art is all about the process. I can totally relate! It is such a soothing and meditative activity... Continue Reading →
