Arabella's art and culture with a dash of gas
After enduring chemo and radiation, I went on a brief break when I couldn't take the chemo anymore. I wanted to get to Bermuda as fast as possible. Damn the pandemic! My husband had never been, I had visited as a child and loved it. I was so sick on that flight, throwing-up and trying… Continue reading Moon Walking in Bermuda
Lately things have been weird but good, too. I've gotten quite a bit of press and features which is nice. It's always hard to cut through the noise of media in general, and I never know who sees my work, who reads about it, if they come across it in unexpected places, if they even… Continue reading Paintings in Print (and on 7 inch records)

We spent a few weeks filled with train travel, art museums, museums, carb loading, tea, cats, dance clubs and meeting-up with friends.
A new article has been written about Q and the now storied song "Goodbye Horses". I can tell you for a fact it wasn't until after my friend Bill passed away almost a decade ago, that all of the real interest sprouted.
Hey, did you know my mom is a bestseller in Russia? Well, the English translation of her latest book has just come out and she will be doing talks both at Cleveland Public Library (Monday, October 2nd at 6pm) and at my favorite bookstore in the world, Loganberry Books (Tuesday, Oct 3rd at 7pm) You… Continue reading Ellendea Proffer Teasley in Cleveland!
