During my travels, I feel drawn to flowers for their vibrant colors, tones and fantastic textures. Going through my photos I realized I took more pictures of flowers than people. Only my museum shots outnumbered them. I have even stopped the car so I could go out and take pictures of some vivid colors that caught my eye along the roadside.
I wanted to tell a story about artists and how we worked and thought and planned before we picked up a brush. My paintings start with one of my photos and devolve into a small painting and then into an abstraction of that painting. They are happy paintings that come out of a difficult time in my life and also in our country's life. I believe that you have to look at the brighter side of things and art will take you there
My background in art is strange. I was told as a third-grader that I could not draw and I took music lessons and I never had an art class. After taking a drawing-one class in a local college at the ripe old age of 52 and then transferring to U Conn where I graduated with a BFA Summa Cum Laude at age 58 and then on to my MFA at Vermont College at 60 years. After school, I reached out to Norwich Arts Gallery and have been a member since then.
Sweet Daddy Cool Breeze
Tuesday, Sept. 20 2026 — 7:30 pm
Formed in 1990 by Wally “Sweet Daddy” Greaney, the Chicago-style boogie and blues band Sweet Daddy Cool Breeze toured Europe and the United States for two decades before taking a ten-year hiatus due to family obligations. Now, thankfully, they are back with, if possible, an even sweeter and cooler sound.
Through the years, Sweet Daddy has recorded and/or performed with Buddy Guy, Albert Collins, James Cotton, Matt Guitar Murphy, Junior Wells, Taj Mahal, and Bo Diddley, to name a few.
If you’ve seen and heard Sweet Daddy Cool Breeze before their hiatus, you know that you can expect an exciting, high-energy performance from start to finish that few bands can match. With Sweet Daddy’s smoking lead vocals, full-bodied harp, soulful sax, and the explosive guitar of Tommy Whalen, along with a tight rhythm section, it can be nothing less.
If this will be your first time experiencing Sweet Daddy Cool Breeze, hold on tight because you’re about to be blown away by one sweet cool breeze. You’ll be sure to be echoing the words of the 82-year-old trucker whose phrase gave rise to the band's name: Lawd have mercy, Sweet Daddy Cool Breeze is in town.
