A successful show at the Pawling Library, where I presented the works below

A Summer Virtual

Art Show

Friday, August 16 / 6:30-8:30 pm

This unique digital exhibition honors the theme of “Community” - that of our world village and also our artistic hearts. Each artist will give a brief talk.
Sculpture by Elisabeth Frischauf, Photography by Lonna Kelly, Illustrations by Donald Partelow Performance of a song, with music by Marian Grudko and lyrics by
author/poet Johnny Ray Moore
Reading of T.A. Young’s poem, “by the river” and an accompanying sculpture

by Kaete Brittin Shaw

T.A. Young and Kaete Brittin Shaw have never met - except through their art. There will be a reading of the letters they wrote to each other, which are literary works of art in themselves.

Join us for this one-of-a-kind experience! Meet the artists and enjoy refreshments.
This program is designed to encourage community conversations and its inspiration is based on the

PBS documentary American Creed.
The film American Creed can be viewed on the web at americancreed.org.

a brief history of front street

Dark Nights Memories, 13x4’ from the ceramic abstract sculpture memory series

This sonnet accompanies the piece:

When Darkness Falls

When darkness falls, it might

Not be the dark of night—

Perhaps it is the hollow

Deeply laid, out of sight,

A lamp inside that sheds no light—

No opening to follow.

Dismiss the outstretched hand,

Trim the outsized hopes

That never had a chance to land—

As eyes retreat and heartbeat drones,

Alert to squeak and bang.

Darkness shows the map of stars

The twink and glimmer of a path—

The lightfooted way at last.
