This three paneled relief depicts children and animals...
...having switched places and activities
I wish I'd taken better photos here...
It's a wall sized, whimsical piece, executed masterfully.

Poets John Marcus Powell and Adriana Scopino
Artist Julian Mendez Perea
One of my favorite of her pieces
Her amazing sculptures
This one, a memorial of 9/11
Here she is with fellow poet and teacher
George Green
I should report that the view of central park was breathtaking, the food spectacular, the welcome and ease absolutely wonderful. A most generous and delightful evening.

Michelle, these glimpses of your days-- what you do and where you've gone and the interesting sites you noticed on the way -- your love of the arts, the flavor of your days, your eloquence ... all of this enriches my world. Thank you, my love to you.
