Rabbits: why?
Tuesday, July 1st, 2025 at 7 PM Somerville Public Library (main branch)
Paintings up all of July 2025. Sponsored by Somerville Arts Council.
A presentation exploring why I’ve painted so many rabbits in the last few years without being particularly rabbit-identified (although I am a fan). Appropriate for all ages. Snacks to follow. Paintings up all month.
Hypocrisy Math was coming along nicely—and then—and then—and then it became too nauseating to continue. Maybe someday in future I hope to return if only for my own interest. Hypocrisy has such negative implications, but I do think as a rubric for understanding the world— in a more neutral, descriptive way—it can be extremely helpful. That’s where I was going with it. I’m posting this photo of my notes even though I risk looking like a bit of a crockpot because I want folks who so kindly took my survey to know that it wasn’t just hypothetical study of hypocrisy and your time was much appreciated.
I have been working on a project titled HYPOCRISY MATH.

Autumn Owl in Autumn tree
I love fall. But it sure seems like there’s less of it than there used to be. My fall movie recommendation is Hitchcock’s The Trouble with Harry (1955) which is as autumnal as it gets, plus the deadpaniest dialogue around, plus abstract expressionist painter character, plus abounding recognize-that-character-actor-from-other-TV-and-movies bingo opportunities, and lots of New England woods.

…chock full o' poetry and art. Happy to have painting of mine on the cover, as designed by the fiendishly talented Martha McCullough.

Hansel and Gretel are real tuxedo kittens that were found in the woods. They were adopted by the most appreciative human friends conceivable and if that is not a fairy tale ending what is. I’ve been wanting to paint these two for a long time but had whisker-anxiety (a concern that I could not capture magnificent whiskerage). It may not entirely have done it, but pretty happy.
As spokesmodel and manager of The Mystery I’m here to announce the latest manifestation of sound words now exists outside of the ether.
This is I suppose a bit of an homage to that famous tapestry “The Unicorn Rests in the Garden” although with different elements. And colors. And perspective. And animals. Whatever! I have been more a narwhale than a unicorn gal but why I thought you had to pick a team I’m not sure. For sale for that unicorn-lover in your life. Message moi for details.
This paining “Secret Society” took what seemed like a few forevers. I had to revise a lot. Painting something that is set at night is challenging in 100 different ways at once. That’s kind of overdoing it, but not much. I was pleased with how it turned out in the end. I really cared that the fire looked like convincing fire despite being made out of night and moonlight. And I really cared that the bunny looked big enough to be able to defend itself against the cat or the owl. I didn’t want anyone to be distracted by worrying about the rabbit’s safety. And so all great artist made. Ha ha Ha. Happily, this painting will soon have a wonderful new home.
Secret Society
I had the pleasure of speaking with composer and experimental musician Andrea Pensado, the realest of the real deals. It’s part of a series of Housecalls with Gilmore Tamny for Non-Event. More to come. Check out more of Andrea’s work here.
