Vija Celmins


Webmaker and birdwatcher Vija Celmins finally ended her search for a home in Merida. After two years of ardent searching just at the moment when she was going to make an offer on a house in my neighborhood of Ermita a bigger better house popped up in Mejorada and she grabbed it. The lawyer was dragged out of bed early Sunday morning. The papers were signed and Vija was off to Chichen Itza for the rest of the day. She spent the night at Hacienda Chichen and was up before dawn on the bird walk. By noon she was back on a plane to New York. We finished renovating her house in the winter of 2008.

Here is a link to her show in NY at McKee Gallery through June 25, 2010. This is her first gallery show in NY since 2001. She paints that slowly and perfectly.
