Happy New Year everyone.

It is easy to feel a bit of deflation coming down from the intensity and hubbub of the High Winter Holidays.  For many people a bit of deflation is really a relaxation that is necessary and much deserved after working hard to keep spirits bright through the darkest days of the year.  Just remember we have a whole fresh year ahead of us.

2011 was a year full of many things.  There were challenges, hopes, failures and triumphs.  It was a year of big events for me, though the old axiom about the ratio of change to sameness in life has certainly borne itself out in many ways.   As the year 2012 gets underway, ticking seamlessly over on the clocks of the world, we must continue, all of us, to keep our aspirations and hopes in mind.  A moment’s pause is the perfect opportunity to compose oneself for making the very best of all that is sure to come.

There should be a lot of exciting new things coming this year. New opportunities.   New shows.  New art.  I am looking forward to it.

Best wishes to all of you!
