Hello All, I hope you've had a great summer! Just wanted to share that since the beginning of the year Mac was diagnosed with glaucoma and a fallen lens in his right eye. Apparently, it’s age related--he’ll be ten years old in December. So, there's some pressure on his eye that may cause pain, it's hard to tell. With regular visits to the vet to test his pressure levels and treatment with medication throughout the day, he seems to be his normal bunny self. Thank God! He’s slowing down a little bit, but I think having Tater for a friend sure helps! As any family with a special needs loved one, we all appreciate your prayers, especially for Mac. Blessings to you!

Earlier this year I joined several art groups closer to home to connect with other artists in my area. It's been fun connecting with new artists, participating in various local shows, and seeing some great local art!
I was honored to have two pieces accepted into the 35th Annual Skylands Regional Juried Art Exhibition, Newton, NJ, in May 2023 (below)

Gaertner German-American art historian, educator, writer, poet SUNDAY, November 13 - The Stable Gallery Opening Reception Thanks to all my friends and family for your wonderful support and encouragement! I wish I had taken better pictures of the whole show, but here are a few of my pieces along with my good friend Carolyn and Evan. It was a ton of fun! I loved meeting new people, fellow artists, and talking about our art! I learned a lot for the next show and we all sold some pieces. Win-win-- Hallelujah!

TUESDAY, November 15 - Artist Reception at AtlantiCare Medical Arts Pavilion, Atlantic City, NJ Fellow Springboarder Emily Gilman-Beezley and I headed to Atlantic City, NJ for an artists’ reception and ribbon-cutting ceremony of AtlantiCare's new Medical Arts Pavilion. Along with many other New Jersey artists, our work is featured on their office walls, corridors and spaces as part of AtlantiCare’s Healing Arts Program. What an honor! They treated us like royalty. It was great to meet the organizer, Cheryl Broschard, in person and get to know some of the other artists. I received incredible feedback on my work—totally worth the almost 6-hour round trip!   Emily (holding me up) in front of her beautiful work! :)
Here are a few of the new pieces I completed in time for the show (many still in progress). My new process includes embellishing traditional and archival digital paintings with collaging of paper, beads, and quilling.
