what’s happening in the studio
coming in April:
Honeybee Hedge Mini Golf Hole at Charlotte SHOUT! 2025
I am creating a mini golf hole for the Queen’s Greens at Charlotte SHOUT! based on an English country garden hedge maze.
Putt the ball through the garden gate.
Will you make a hole in one? Or will your ball be lost in the maze…

These are my photos of paintings by Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio. The lighting in many venues was not optimal — with a lot of glare even in person. I did the best I could! I viewed these paintings in the following: in London, The National Gallery, and in Rome, The Borghese Gallery, Palazzo Barberini, Chiesa di San Luigi dei Francesi, Palazzo Doria Pamphilj, The Capitoline Museum, The Basilica of Sant’Agostino, and the Vatican Museums in Vatican City.
