Allow Me to Introduce...


... my wife, Ellie Blankfort. You have in fact met her before, since she has been mentioned already in several posts--most notably the one about her struggles in the studio. You'll now find, along with her picture in the right-hand sidebar of Persist: The Blog, a link to her website where she describes her work with artists. Her individual mentoring sessions are clearly of great help and inspiration, since artists keep returning to see her. Together we facilitate a support group that meets regularly at our home, to share many of the issues that come up in these pages. We also, together, offer day-long and weekend workshops. I'm sure I'll be writing more about these after our imminent summer retreat, at the beloved cottage in Laguna Beach which we bought more than fifteen years ago. I'll also plan to include her in our series of interviews. She is a woman of long and serious experience in the contemporary art world. In the meantime, I just wanted to let you know about her...
