Awhile back I posted digital images I worked over along with some thoughts on over development. Since then, I have decided to expand on the theme and construct an actual physical piece. The Fallen pays tribute to all creatures that are victims of over development but I continued to use the image of theContinue reading “Expanding on the Theme of Over Development”

Should Art Match Your Sofa?
The age old indignation of someone holding a fabric swatch up to a piece of art is something many artists endure. I was reminded of this lately when rewatching Hannah and Her Sisters when the character Frederick, an artist, becomes outraged when a potential client wants to consult his decorator before buying. So let me poseContinue reading “Should Art Match Your Sofa?”
More Cookie Cutter House Artwork
This first painting, Little Pink Houses, was the first piece I finished for this project. I have posted the image before but never wrote anything about the work and there is a good reason for that. Often, it takes time before I realize why I made something. When I first finished this painting, I thoughtContinue reading “More Cookie Cutter House Artwork”
A Walk Around the World
This book was started some time ago but I did not like the way it was progressing so I put it away to work on “in the future”. Well, the future came and here is the finished book. It is a fond memory of my mother. Each panel is shown enlarged so the text andContinue reading “A Walk Around the World”
The Neighborhood: Completed Artwork
So here is the finished work. Thank you all for your comments on the last post of this as it was in progress.

Artwork in Progress

One day, while standing in one spot, I counted four toads that had been run over within a small radius of where IContinue reading “Over Development”
What is Home to Nikki Hansen
Nikki Hansen was born in Elmer, NJ (when dinosaurs roamed the earth, or at least before the tiny local hospital splurged on air conditioning). She currently lives in Glassboro, NJ. For me, “home” isn’t necessarily anchored in a single dwelling but is more the mental embodiment of comfort, beauty, joy, safety, memory, stimulation andContinue reading “What is Home to Nikki Hansen”
What is Home to Diane Podolsky
Diane was born in Philadelphia, PA and currently resides in North Carolina. Home for me is a connection to my physical surroundings which not only encompasses visual stimuli but smells, sounds, etc. But since we are dealing with images for this project, I will talk about visual stimuli. My favorite story about how sensory stimuli liveContinue reading “What is Home to Diane Podolsky”

I live in the same house that my family moved into in July, 1937 when I was nine months old. I have been fortunate toContinue reading “What is Home to Jane B. Miluski”
