It’s hard to believe that July 15, 2020 marks the FIFTH Anniversary of this site.

Somehow I got here. It wasn’t easy. It wasn’t always pretty. There were countless times when I said, “That’s it” to myself, but then kept going. Well over 250 pieces published in about 260 weeks- I never thought I would maintain that kind of pace, and don’t hold me to it going forward!

My thanks to each and every one of you who has taken the time to read one of them, and especially to those who’ve taken the time to read most, even all of them. You’re truly people after my own heart especially since my subjects and interests tend to range all over the map from one end to the other from piece to piece. If I looked at them all one after another I’m sure I’d shake my head at the range they cover, and, perhaps, that’s the thing I’m proud of, but I’d sure wonder how anyone would want to stay with me. Yet, the numbers have gone up each year, and I hear from people in the furthest corners of the world, places I’ll never see (it doesn’t help that I still haven’t been out of Manhattan overnight since Feb, 2012!).

My thanks to Kitty for research assistance from time to time and to the museums who’ve been so supportive of my efforts. Mostly, I want to thank all the Artists I’ve met, spoken to, or corresponded with that I’ve written about for trusting me with their work. It’s something I’ve taken very, very seriously.

I never expected NHNYC would take over my life full time, and continue to do so for five years. If you’ve liked anything you’ve seen here, the credit goes to my compatriot-now-partner, Lana Hattan. She pushed me to start this in 2015. If you don’t? The blame is solely mine.

5 Years. Phew! Thank You!, one and all.
