This is a place for me to show you what I love to do and things I love to look at. I am overwhelmed by the number of great artist out there and I want to use this space to document what I find and where it all takes me with my own creativity. I'm looking for my inspiration and I will show you where and how it comes to me. Hopefully, it will ring true for you as well and the gift will be passed on.

Carmen Leggio
We just got some very sad news. Carmen Leggio, Tenor Sax player for over 60 years and a dear friend to our family, has passed away. He was still playing at night clubs and other venues up until the time he passed away. He was such a sweet, humble person yet had this huge talent to play Jazz sax and the clarinet. He was kind enough to come to our house and play for our daughter's 4th birthday. When we went to the local restaurant Division Street Grill in Peekskill NY, he played a special solo just for our kids. He has played with some heavy hitters on tthe Jazz scene like Dizzy Gillespie, Buddy Rich, and Benny Goodman to name a few. He shared his talent wherever he went and brought such joy and kindness to all he touched. He will be missed by his friends, family, fans and the community as a whole. Rest in peace, Carmen Leggio. We love you.

The Martha Show Audience
Happy Spring!
I am so psyched! I was in the audience at the Martha Show yesterday and it was a special craft show with none other
then Rosie O'Donnell. The "Whatever Martha" girls were there
(Alexis and Jennifer) and they were all very funny together.
We had fantastic seats right up on the floor with Martha and the guests. Rosie O'Donnell came over and looked at my mosaics (she held this cross I brought to the show) and chit chatted with me and my sister and mother. She is such a warm, fun loving person. My sister thought I was going to fall over dead from all the excitement. What a blast it was! We came home with bags and bags of giveaways.
If you ever get the chance to go to the show, do it. The set is beautiful, Martha is very gracious to her audience and it is so worth the effort!
