more photos, Niagara Falls

the fury behind the Falls

That's right!  This was taken from beyond the tunnel and from the side.
An amazing experience.

my second exhibit venue in Paterson

Architectural Life in Paterson, NJ

Basilica of the Sacred Heart, Newark, NJ

Several beautiful aspects of this magnificent cathedral that

Pope John Paul II visited in the late 80s

Upon my visit, this venue took my breath away with it's strong Renaissance influence

and the onset of perspective giving a whole new glorious dimension to art!

When my sister Margaretann succumbed to breast cancer in late 2006 I was devastated.

Literally my big sister, figuratively my mother, and always my best friend,

I felt compelled to honor her memory in a way which hadn't been done before.

This piece is titled:

"Angels Keeping Watch over Margaretann"

"I miss you so much, big sister, precious and steadfast role model, think about you
each and every day
and so many times

I wish I could just pick up a phone and call you -- hear your comforting

and melodic voice once again."  -- "little" Ginny

RIP my sweet sister.
