Esther Geller Studio 1997


This is a re-blog of a drawing I did of my mother's art studio in Natick, Massachusetts, my original home town. It goes with the"artist in studio" post a few days ago on May 16. Mother painted countless works of art in this studio, which she occupied from 1990 till 2000. She used to complain to me that she hadn't painted enough art during her lifetime but when we were uncovering and sorting her art output after her passing we found literally hundreds, maybe more than a thousand of them. Since they were not considered "marketable" (explanation is complex) they were donated to grateful collectors, a museum in nearby Framingham, and the Brandeis University music department.

Original sketch from December 29, 1997.
