Dedicated to Wendy Knox Artistic Director of the Frank Theater for her brave and daring plays that take risks and make us laugh. I also want to honor Pillsbury House, Penumbra Theatre, Mixed Blood and the formidable Guthrie which has endured.
I love to go to plays and in the past 2 years have been able to go to many plays. Having drawn in the dark for years recording Flamenco Dance it was an easy transistion to draw plays in the moment as the action unfolded. It's not easy but  I really enjoy it and later paint in my drawings, scan them and send them off to share with the actors and directors.

Dedicated to this beautiful Mexican plant with an ancient history that self seeds.
For years beautiful Amaranth has self seeded and grown in my back yard. By summers end it is a forest of these Majestic Red Plumed Plants. I cherish these plants and let them grow where they wish.  

For the past 18 years I have marked the Counting of the Omer centered on documenting the aspects of the Sephirot in connection with my daily drawings and observations of the old Cedar Tree of Life right next to my house. This magnificent tree with its outstretched limbs holds me in a variety of ways. I feel its mystical splendor, the daily shifting of light upon its outstretched branches and enjoy seeing the squirrels rest and scamper up and down it as I gaze at it. The tree also holds me emotionally as I mark time for 49 days in the Minnesota spring with all of its turbulent changes.. And the tree and marking the inner nature of the relationship of the sephirot hold me through the ups and downs of daily life and various challenges that rise and are resolved. 

Dedicated to the beauty of local Minneapolis lakes with Great Gratitude to the Glaciers that created them.
Anita swims daily when the weather is warm enough. She is both inspired to draw and find physical rejuvenation.

Dedicated to my beautiful and faithful charming cats Ocean and Gypsy.
This series of drawings of my cats shows their calm demeanor through the challenges of Covid. They curled up together on their chair creating a peaceful atmosphere when everything was so difficult and challenging.

Dedicated to letting "Life Tell the Story!" as these events all happened!
These collections of stories are Drawn from my life in the moment as I let Life tell the Story

This collection is Dedicated to Cheap Art inspired by the
WHY CHEAP ART manifesto
by the Bread and Puppet Theatre in Vermont.
People have been thinking too long that
ART is a PRIVILEDGE of the MUSEUMS and the RICH.
It does not belong to banks and fancy investors.
ART IS FOOD . It needs to be everywhere, because it is INSIDE
of the WORLD.
Art Soothes Pain
Art wakes up sleepers
Art fights against War and Stupidity.
ART IS LIKE GOOD BREAD.
Art is like green trees
Art is like white clouds in blue sky.
Art  IS  CJEA[T HURRah!

Dedicated my enduring parents Emily and Jim who gave me so much and for the privilege of caring for them through the end of their life to death.
This series of drawings is about Caregiving and how I let the moment and let "LIFE TELL THE STORY" These drawings are about how I drew my way through caregiving my family. These moments include time at home, numerous doctor appointments and other moments when I cared for them. 

Dedicated to the fine staff at Fulton Clinic and for being able to have a pen in my hand and once again "Draw My Way Through!"
As part of my long ongoing and extended Documentary Drawings is this series of drawings done of an MRI I had in October 2025. I drew the technical and emotional aspects of the procedure and included my visit to the local farmers market after my MRI.

Dedicated to the amazing, caring, compassionate Staff at HENNEPIN HEALTHCARE who helped my family navigate difficult medical and psychological moments. I was blessed to be able to get a closer look and enter into the heart and soul of the hospital.
These drawings are a Selection from the 160 documentary drawings I did at Hennepin Healthcare from March 2018 to June 2019 to show the arc, pathos, professional care and compassion in the everyday complex life of the hospital.

Dedicated to Food Shelves everyone that feed people in need.
This series of drawings bears witness to how my late husband Josh gave of his big heart to volunteer at the Minnehaha Food Shelf, despite huge health challenges. His efforts continue to inspire as the need for food remains great.

Dedicated to my late parents Emily and Jim White who I was priviledged to care for through their later years until they died.
This series of drawings was done from about 2009 through 2012. Those last years were tough, but I hung in their with them and the time was precious. At times it was so difficult I just had to make it funny! All along the way I felt the richness of their lives and gratitude for all they gave me.
A CAREGIVERS PRAYER
Help me O Divine Spirit, to have Patience
as  I enter this familiar house to attend to my parents needs...
as they age.
Help me to attend to the Mundane Tasks that need doing:
Laundry, Dishes, Toileting and more: Medical Appointments
and acute evaluations.
Allow me to care for them with Love, Patience, and
attention to exact detail.
Please give me the wisdom to make Appropriate Decisions
for them and with them.
May I find Joy and Insight as I attend to their aging
and support them through this journey

Dedicated to time spent in the waiting rooms and Emergency Room at Hennepin Healthcare.
This suite of drawings starts in the waiting room at HCMC ( Hennepin Healthcare) where compassionate time waits with those who have various afflictions. I sit with my pen and draw, remebering other times that were more intense. 

Dedicated to the immigrants who are challenged and arrested by ICE and who struggle to navigate culture, language and a court system for their freedom
For the past few years I have had the privilege of drawing in IMMIGRATION COURT as a way to do visual observations for the ADVOCATES of HUMAN RIGHTS. It is a very emotional experience to see how vulnerable people are who navigate culture, court and language.  Now with the new administration there is a new level of fear as ICE arrests take place on the premises. I witnessed 2 ICE arrests and drew them afterwards.

Dedicated to the imaginative power of art and its ability to make what is heavy light and what is challenging whimsical and funny. And most of all to make things bearable.
When my late husband and I faced his increasing medical challenges I started to feel very overwhelmed. One snowy winter day I turned onto Hwy 55 headed to the hospital. As I drove on icy roads I thought:"I am a Mountain Goat! I can hand on with Tenacity! I can even hang Upside Down! Once again an inner Artistic Image held me and carried me through a difficult time for the next 6 weeks.

Dedicated to walking the challenging Grief Journey after the loss of a loved one.
This is a very personal suite of drawings done after my late husband Josh died. Having drawn through all of his medical crisis and challenges I once again turned to drawing in order to navigate the uncertain terrain of grief. I drew many aspects of grief. Marking time, the After Life of Objects and the loss of daily routines. There are over 300 drawings done over 5 years. I trust these drawings speak to those in mourning and that they bring solace of some kind.

These drawings are part of an ongoing daily meditation that I find relaxing and uplifting. I often draw what is said and how I feel about the spiritual teachings in the moment. There is ALWAYS a phrase or words that speak to me in the moment and often illuminate a Jewish Holiday or the weekly Torah portion.  The daily rabbinical teaching is sustaining and nourishing....carrying me through the rest of my day and illuminated when I later paint in what was said and felt.

Dedicated to drawings done in October 2025.
This collection shares many  experiences I documented this past week from my brothers Neurology appointment to a neighbors Halloween party.

Dedicated to giving art away and not holding onto it.
This suite of drawings documents my daily life of drawing those I meet and giving away those drawings that I often paint in the moment. It brings Joy!
