Closing night: Water & Wood 2017 by Janice Nigro The evening started off right, even though I was going solo. When asked at the entrance, I announced like a kid that I was an artist and pointed enthusiastically to my work on the wall. If I was reluctant before, I no longer was at calling...

A funny thing happened at Water & Wood I by Janice Nigro Fate was at work already within minutes of my arrival at the opening.

Soon after I could hear the engine of the equipment start... Continue Reading →
Stepping out of the cocoon by Janice Nigro I am pretty brave when it comes to stepping way far out of the cocoon alone, like overseas stepping out of the cocoon. Then I just take a taxi or a bus to LAX. But the other kind of stepping out of the cocoon alone, local stepping... Continue Reading →
