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

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.

Good Morning viewers!

More than half-way through this very brief, accelerated semester (only 8 weeks) and loving every minute of what I'm doing.  Teaching the course "History of Graphic Design" for Fairleigh Dickinson University's partnership at Gloucester College.  What a dream to have a position in my field.  It's quite rejuvenating and fulfilling!

In addition, now looking forward to a coaching session with Jim Arns (of Melodeers fame, International Champions, SAI) with my chorus, Hickory Tree THIS weekend (March 3).

In addition to that, St. Catherine of Bologna's 13th Annual Art and Photography exhibition's reception takes place on Friday, the 16th and goes through the weekend (Ringwood, NJ).  For the 4th year in a row, I am submitting three (3) of my pieces once again.  Sooooo excited.

If that weren't enough, HTC and Region #15 is heading to competition in Philadelphia, PA from the 23rd to the 25th!  HTC is contestant #2 so we'll be up bright and early Saturday morning preparing for those fantastic 6 minutes on stage!

Such an exciting month, and if I must say....it's been an exciting *several* months.

Thanks for keeping up.  :)
