Since I was in Italy September and October 2023
I have been focused on training for new work,
at www.manawafamilyconstellations.com,
not painting at all until April this year. 
I'm looking forward to another big painting season.
I want to be in rampant flow when I get to 
Chateau d'Orquevaux Artists' Residency
​mid-October 2025. I'm so excited!
