Stedelijk Museum – Amsterdam 2025
Stedelijk is the big – and I mean big – modern art museum in Amsterdam. Plan on spending all day if you aren’t going to see something specific.
NL Trip Early July
I absolutely adore the Netherlands. Such an amazing place to hang in the summer.
Worcester Museum of Art – Worcester MA –
This is a small museum (compared to some), with a lot of variety.
Seattle Art Museum – May 2025
Spent some time at SAM, great Ai Weiwei exhibit, lots and lots of stuff in the permanent collection.
Ruth Bancroft Garden – Walnut Creek CA – May 2025
I have such a crush on this place, I absolutely adore it. I’m taking all my Bay area friends there now.
Anna Sui at PHX Art – May 2025
Anna Sui, queen of creating little mini universes. You wanna be a rockstar? Grunge-girl? Pirate? It’s like anything is possible. And the soundtrack ROCKS.
Orchid Mania at DBG – Spring 2025
I can’t grow orchids, just doesn’t work. But wow, these were amazing to look at and dream about growing.
Ruth Bancroft Garden – Walnut Creek – April 2025
Huge gallery, may take a bit to load. I’ve heard about this garden, and I even own the book about it – The Bold Dry Garden – but I hadn’t ever been to visit.
Gardens by the Bay – Singapore – April 2025
Yah, I realize it’s one of the most touristy things to do in Singapore, but it’s so Crazy Rich Asians movie style up there, you just gotta go. Lots of images, maybe loads slowly.
Singapore – Absolutely Amazing!
OMG, Singapore, where have you been all my life? 17 hours on a plane is nothing if you’re waiting at the end of the flight ;-}}}
CACSS Show & Sale at Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix
Every year the CACSS holds a show and sale to benefit the society. It’s usually at DBG, which is one of my happy places.
Scottsdale Ferrari Art Week – Inaugural 2025 Edition
First described to me as Art Basel in the desert, clearly by someone who hasn’t been to Art Basel, if this was the intent. Artists are struggling right now, and anything that gets more exposure is probably ok.
