Today brings disappointment and concern for the future. The challenges ahead are undeniable, but I believe we can channel our disappointment into meaningful action. Our compassion, voices, and commitment to decency and harmony are needed now more than ever.

It is a somber day.
But tomorrow I will still paint.
Tomorrow I will still teach.
We'll gather for dinners and parties in the courtyard.
Tomorrow we’ll continue working for the causes we care about and finding ways to bring hope and healing.
Tomorrow our democracy will hold and in January no one will storm the capitol.

And tomorrow, and all the days after, I will be grateful to Kamala Harris for giving us the hope, decency, possibility of joy and such sweet promise. Thank you Kamala Harris

Here are a few images —old and new. May they brighten your day!

Presenting 'Red Thread,' a 22"X30" pastel on paper. Crafted during our family's early days in New York City, this medium-sized pastel painting reflects a moment of solace at a friend's apartment. I painted this in my classic style carefully layering pigments to bring depth and richness of color to the composition, encapsulating the warmth and positivity discovered amid the city's bustle.

'Red Thread’ is now available at a generous 50% discount during our studio sale. With its layered composition and warm narrative, it is sure to bring joy to your space. Don't miss the chance to bring this piece home - holiday sale closes soon.

From the “At Home” series. This painting is one of my favorites from the series. For me a special detail is the poetry book by “The Hill We Climb”.

It is with purely deep joy that I announce the 2022 Terra Magica Immersion contemplative art workshop. After three years' pause I am thrilled we are able to offer this program again. We will return to our beloved Rovinj and will make our base on Santa Katarina Island. This time we will focus predominantly on gouache, watercolor and acrylic painting en plein air. No prior painting experience is necessary. We welcome everyone to register at https://www.terra-magica.love/register

Terra Magica Immersion are contemplative painting workshops designed by myself and our program director Daniela Miljan. Beginners who want to discover their creativity or working artists who want to hone their technique are welcome. What makes Terra Magica special is our emphasis on a learning to see artistically, which releases creativity and joy in art and in all one's activities. Participants will immerse themselves in the colors, beauty and culture of the Istrian peninsula as they undertake this exciting journey of insight and spirit. Individual and group instruction, outings to stunning locations, awareness exercises and group meals fill the daily schedule, with plenty of time for self-guided work and exploration. The week culminates in a group show and celebratory dinner.

As always, space is extremely limited (8-10 participants) so please, reserve your spot early. You can find detailed information on our website https://www.terra-magica.love/ or write us with any questions to [email protected] I look forward to seeing you all in magical Istria!
