Best of the Season, Finding Love and Peace

The Holidays

What a great season I had: River Arts Holiday Fair, Windrush Farm, ACTA Winery and Rena Charles Gallery on the same day, Art Escape Sonoma and Sugarloaf Wine Company. I dropped off two sculptures to the newest exhibition at The Marlowe Gallery in San Francisco, THE BLACK WOMAN IS GOD: U.S.A. GODDAMN! December 20, 2025 - March 20, 2026 from 6-9pm, The Marlowe Gallery, 231 Grant Avenue, San Francisco, 94108
I saw so many friends, the website was stellar with record sales and finally, the pause for the end of the year. I spent four days with my son Zappa and we cooked together, laughed and enjoyed decorating the tree together. Without our dear Bob, it was a year of new experiences, just the two of us this first Christmas without the loving funny and sweet Bob.

This year is different than many years, but we've been through so much before. I hope you can find peace and love during this brief holiday season. I will spend time with my family, relaxing, and enjoying their company. The world is always busy, chaotic, unsettling. The world is also love, kindness, and resilience. We are stronger than we realize, we are good, kind, compassionate, sharing all we have. Love to you all, and best wishes for you and your families and friends.

With love, Denise
