"May Altar" is one of a series of paintings I did as part of an art class this past winter. I usually have a rosary in my pocket and decided to see where the beads would lead. This piece is on view as part of the Umbrella Arts Center's summer student exhibit on view in Concord, MA through August 30.

“May Altar” included in the Umbrella Arts Student Show, A Moment of Reflection, now through August 30, 2026
I owe so much to the Umbrella Arts Center in Concord, Massachusetts, for the opportunities they've provided to me and countless other artists, giving us a chance to pursue art instruction from an incredibly gifted group of instructors whose work inspires us every day. I've studied under Kat O'Connor on and off since 2017, when I took my first watercolor class at the Umbrella thinking it might help me help Walt expand his art to include painting. It turned out that I was the one who expanded my art horizon under Kat's steady guidance.
