Chelsea.Whitney.Andy.Morgan.Frida.




This past week was our annual New York trip! The students were up close with some pretty incredible art. We toured the Chelsea galleries first and that always challenges our thinking and instigates excellent conversations around process, meaning and product. 

Laura, Kelly, Susan & Heather


The Whitney was lively with Andy Warhol's prolific and exuberant documentation of celebrity and history in saturated color and energy.




The Morgan Library was a new destination and it did not disappoint! Illuminated manuscripts, incredible photography, 
mesmerizing architectural spaces.

When the gang is all here....

The culmination of our journey was experiencing the Frida Kahlo exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum of Art!  Serendipitously it was International Women's Day!



Fierce Women


Frida & the Bull

It was an outstanding experience! 
The students were awesome. My colleagues were outstanding. Each venue we experienced gave us so much to think about...we continuously move forward.

Old School Becoming New School


This renovation has been much anticipated and I am so excited to document the change that is beginning to ensue!


This was the front of the school, I think it will remain the front when it is all said and done.


So many memories here! Getting ready to morph for new experiences and house new sights and sounds.

Shaking off the week...


This week ended the first semester. Imagine frantic students stressing about what was not turned in and the realization that  there are no more chances this go around...the final bell rings and then suddenly quiet hallways. So quiet.
I found myself wanting to take my camera out and capture those same students blowing off steam and enjoying the weekend! I grabbed my camera gear, husband and my own kids and headed to the basketball court where the players and fans did not disappoint!!! Best high school game I have ever watched!
Fast moving game...each team matching point for point...resulting in a double overtime even a righteous Hail Mary!!! Final score 64-56, Cougars beat the Chargers!
