Stood in line for the Daily Show, after stopping by the gallery to see my work. Bought myself some flowers for the hotel room, and had the vendors singing Happy Birthday to me down the street. A sales clerk is talking to herself, “Get an Office!” as the man that stopped inside to take a message from his caller has already left. It’s Monday and I had to put the sad book down that I was reading. There is too much life here to enjoy.
Enjoyed Caffe Linda, and the recently opened Casellula. The “little hut” cheese bar, great food, ambiance, my ideal studio. I’m looking forward enjoying all the local businesses… no Starbucks in my 10 days.

New York
September 22nd, 2007
Getting excited about my New York show. I went in ‘94, when I graduated from art school; to make the decision if I would pursue the arts after college. Every minute in that city I felt so alive, and woke up with energy. Hours at the gallery in the morning, then distracted by the colorful characters, the amount of people walking by, and of course the shopping, and back to the galleries… The decision was easy enough, I knew I had to persevere.
It will be nice to meet the other artists from Canada in the “Beyond Borders” exhibition. But I hope to have a solo show one day in New York. That will be the next goal.
I wonder how it will change my work. Coming home from a polluted Taiwan inspired the clean westcoast landscapes. I see the New York work as very bold, colourful, plastic and edgy. I can’t wait. Hopefully I can put it into words daily, on my blog.
