Using My Voice

I’m a 69-year-old storyteller by profession but for decades couldn’t tell my own. More than just tongue-tied, my uncomfortable relationship with words often led me to consider myself not only shy, but inarticulate when speaking. I spent a childhood with

The Travesty of Trump Tower and Bonwit Teller

Trump Tower lives to see another day. For now, the tacky gold emblazoned skyscraper remains untouched by the New York courts, much like Trump himself. Seeing both knocked down would be pure justice. Long before I hated Donald Trump, I

Donald Trump‘s Great Fall

  I’ve been counting down the days for Trump’s Big Fall, ever since I portrayed him tumbling from great heights in a collage I created about New York City decades ago. New Yorkers have been waiting nearly half a century
