MHAPPY WINTER BEYOND the HOLIDAYS
from me, Lady Tracy Suzanne Pickett @ STUDIO VOSSE
Winter Holidays happen only one time a year, each and every year, and then the year is gone. It always holds great important to me personally to send out a holiday greeting that rings out throughout the year ahead as to what will be the future. Who we hold ourselves up to be -towards others, and even ourselves, is often an expression within words. Cherished words of expression are humanities way to memories that which can build a world of peace and even love. As my university professor from Columbia College Chicago exclaimed: words expressed could be a whole page of words, or just one word -to convey an expression of a greater meaning. He is a very wise man who studied in Belgium and is a world-renowned art historian -well respected that I learned a world of knowledge from -within his spoken words as a lecturer. I myself celebrate the memories of words spoken to me from him and many others often, in vivid reality. With that brings my love of life for my memories, past, my memories present, and a hope for the good memories of, -yes, words, to remember of the future to be.
In disparage or celebration, may there be a memory in histories past of greater messages. Words -of importance -to you and everyone in the entire world. May words bring hope for prosperity of a broader humanity, with a place for good cheer and a time for sorrow that has meaningful placement. May you have a message in words, towards -greater self-attainment for yourself or another, to a passage of humanity to -thrive -seek -give hope to - and simply be. Be of a vibrant tomorrow that knows a greater meaning of the words spoken during so ever important life of the memories of a page of words, perhaps spoken words, just one word remembered -past -present -future. Imagine. The words we speak to others, or -words -we ourselves remind ourselves of in our personal thoughts, to gain a spirited sweetness of a riche humanity which grows greater within ourselves. Imagine a whole humanity in a continuum of truer greater presence of words -in messages, in our struggles and our better minutes of time. Imagine. A universe much greater than the earth -farther reaching than often our imaginations fathom-a universe I dare say, filled with memories of words important, kind, with equality, hope, deliberations, of love and peace. Imagine -words that ring out forever of a good humanity that has placement of good words of all. In our own reach towards wisdom and compassion within the words you might express, may you remember a word of kindness that heralds in messages that are cherished to be forever infinite within the universe." Words "-which infinitely fill the universe. -Imagine.
As children and grown-ups gazing upon a starry night, may there be a forever -a good world whole. While forever the world is also with sorrow.
Peace, love, and a wish for a New Year All Year -Well and Good Beyond Just a Formal Day of Holiday.
Each and all, everywhere, I say, remember words with peace and love, North, South, East, and West.
Let words echo from the Western World and the Entire Eastern World too. To you all, a Merry Year with love and a wish for peace and prosperity forever to all.
From LADY TRACY SUZANNE PICKETT @STUDIO VOSSE
on 12.22.2022, my mother's lovely husband named Wendel Powers took ill a few days before Christmas 2021. A holiday dinner reserved for him was instead -lite snacks and gifts were moved to his hospital room. Wendel A. Powers, is mother's husband, and is still in very serious condition while I think the world should know that he is a celebrated man who served as an executive at the BELL TELEPHONE COMPANY, in Syracuse New York for 35 years without missing a day of work. Wendel is an Army veteran that was stationed in Germany many years ago, as he learned the German language and even traveled to France then where he learned to speak enough of the Parisian language to easily travel in a world arena. After Wendel returned to the states, USA soil, Wendel then began an apprenticeship as a technician in telecommunications for MA BELL, that is the MASSACHUSETT'S BELL TELEPHONE CORPORATION, and then advancing quickly in the company to excel in NYC Manhattan's finest telecommunications engineering schools to become one of SYRACUSE NEW YORK'S top executives for his devotion, his attention, and his excellence in skills - to the BELL TELLEPHONE company.
On 1.2.22 Wendel is recovering from an extremely seriously fall he took in the middle of the night at age 89 years old. He has had an MRI and has suffered a debilitating injury from the fall. His recovery process has been very difficult for him as I hope he recovers well very soon.
It was in the 1980's when Wendel and my mother began a very sprite life with each other. They both enjoying collecting antique cars of the finest quality and building an estate together with many loving friends and relatives. Their antiquing days became a favorite time for them, within a community of people in the auctioneer business and antiquities collectors' community that liked my mother and Wendel quite well. Some of the auction people were even from Sotheby's of London in England as mom and Wendel really had a grand time with little tiny hunts for finer works of art in decor designs with histories in each purchase. While they lived out a sporting life to envy as they met many fine people with their scurry to collect what would be their life-long estate goods.
Wendel's mother and father owned a local fuel and grocery in a quaint village in NEW YORK where Wendel honed his skills as a top auto mechanic that brought him great attention to be honored in entering the military services where he enjoyed world travel. Later in life he took time to actually hand build his mother a modern log cabin home. Also building other home structures with ease as Wendel and my mother designed as well as any architect and Wendel went to work hand building several of their estates with simply a hammer and nails. Wendel enjoys football and basketball very well, as he was the head project manager of assuring tele -media technology lines for the Carrier Dome as well as phone lines for the entire region in and about SYRACUSE NEW YORK. My mother is from an aristocratic ancestry with the richness of cultured people that settled Nantucket Island -into the Boston Harbor -into NEW HAVEN CT., where some of our ancestry were founders of Yale University in the tiny city of New Haven, as well as others that settled in NEW YORK and SYRACUE NY traveling the Pennsylvania Rail Road, sailing from great ships from the country of ENGLAND hundreds of years earlier with a very broad cultural history much like Wendel's fine history. While some of our ancestors of Europe were involved directly within the King's Court of Henry VIII in the country of ENGLAND. My mother at her earlier years was an accomplished business person in one of the most exclusive fine apparels stores of European- Eastern Globe influence. My mother's grandmother Mrs. Edwards was a business person, as was her great grandmother Mrs. Rice, as a fine pastry chef. My mother's father an engineer and his mother a great organizer in fundraising for greater humanities causes. My mother went on to nurture her college needs with not only achieving a license to run a fine solon, Ellie Powers, also achieved an honored as a graduate of Syracuse University Nursing College. In the year 2016 the two, fine people as Wendel and my mother are, settled into the picturesque mountain regions of New York States world famous resort hide- aways, where they purchased a beautiful home and enjoyed a luxurious quiet side of NEW YORK STATE closer to the HUDSON BAY region -worth to note of a fine heritage of the fine craft works of arts that fills Manhattan's shops. My mother and Wendel have enjoyed their fine home as mom took to photographing the entire region with the most wonderful photographs as she keeps them in her phone camera very cherished with her dear photographs which she saviors of her grandchildren and great grandchildren that she boasts about often.
Of course, their lovely history -Wendel and Ellie could fill quaint books in their many minutes of life, as they are two very lovely people well-loved both of them by everyone in the world. Though today, Wendel A. Powers, is still in serious condition at FULTON REHABILITATION HOSPITAL in Gloversville NEW YORK.
Please wish all good prayers or well wishes for him at the FULTON REHABILITATION HOSPITAL.
Posted Note on 1.19.22 He is far away from his very lovely wife ELLIE, and dog and home as he is in need of a kind gentle reality in a hospital at age 89 of course with the kindest of words.
2.6.2022 Sir Wendel A. Powers passed away on this morning at 4:30 am. He was a very charming wonderful human being who had a very serious heart condition for many years as his very lovely wife tended to his heart condition possibly extending his health -as Wendel lived a good 89 years. Their retired years were very special in their move to the Adirondack region of New York State as they dreamed to do. Wendel Powers will be forever in our hearts.
There will be a private service for Wendel A. Powers, (Bud Powers), in Star Lake NY, on the week of February 7th, 2022, as well as a late Spring 2022, service at the St Patric's Cathedral in NYC, as informal and with the date TBA -in a quiet remembrance of Wendel A. Powers.
Extra Note: Due to unvaccinated people in the USA and particularly in Hospitals -Wendel came down with a case of Covid 19 while he was in the Hospital and not at home. He was very fragile at age 89 years old. It has been an ample amount of time to see that vaccines are absolute in a mandated process that does not leave a store clerk responsible to question each person they see. Simply adding a status to a driver's license with a smart card -chip to be scanned in going to work and stores seems a best solution to mandating vaccines and seeing the country effectively stop the effects of covid 19 further seems a small effort to mandate state required ID cards, and provide curb side services for groceries to those not vaccinate with such a serious spread of infectious disease, compared to the efforts that have already been made with USA troops across the nation to administer shots at even air ports. It is a time to be smart about COVID 19 vaccine processes systematically that is not bringing further risk or inconveniences to those compliant with vaccinations -with no further covid 19 issues to contend with in the future that could have been now today. And not a destruction for the world to handle more of tomorrow into the future.
Polio was stopped in the USA with vaccines. The laws to vaccinate for measles, munps, and rebella we directed by Washington DC at top levels without a area of debate after the facts scientifically were solid in effective vaccines. It is the reality.
LADY TRACY SUZANNE PICKETT
with a southern city of people that made it a truly wonderful experience.
After leaving the international museum conservatory, 2002 brought international exhibitions. Works of art in Manhattan alongside Yoko Ono. A collaboration invite with Rolf Lorenzo Hemmer the internationally recognized artist from the country of Spain -in the Trilfari Square Exhibitions at the TATE MODERN MUSEUM of ART in LONDON ENGLAND. The Guitai Exhibition at the GUGGENHEIM MUSEUM of ART, and my famous GUGGENHEIM work of art, "WHERE NOW GRACE" about the USA 2009 stock crashes. My work was received at the Oval Office in the USA, as a presidential piece of art during the inauguration of the OBAMA administration. In Manchester England my work appeared -in participation with Yoko Ono's, JUST DO IT, exhibition. In 2008, I was invited to become a member of the board for an avant-garde artist group in BERLIN GERMANY. As well, I served as a board council for a leading USA environmental organization in the largest USA biosphere reserve -served as a board council member for the state of Tennessee at the independent living center in Knoxville Tennessee. The arts festival council board position for the HEART SONGS CENTER@ ETTAC.org, bringing the annual arts festival to the center of the city of Knoxville, TN as was great fun and much organizing work. My literary works were published in Vanderbilt University Press in an arts magazine in September 2005 -sponsored by the Kennedy Center. Further published articles with DEMO MAGAZINE published by Columbia College Chicago. Published in DANA PRESS, with arts articles in an international -foremost neuroscience press. With published perspectives in the GUGGENHEIM MUSEUM of ART within their international design forum, reaching audiences in Berlin Germany, Venice Italy, and Adu Bhabi Saadiyat Island in the middle east, and in Bilbao Spain at the Bilbao Guggenheim -2009, 2010 and 2011, reaching global arts enthusiasts. In 2010, SUNDANCE INSTITUTE of international independent films invited me to create a film short for the SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL, founded by ROBERT REDFORD.
Chicago IL. USA, for me, has been central mecca of international opportunities, as I was invited to lecture in a global symposium with Columbia College Chicago broadcasted online within the European Arts College Council in 2009 as the presentation broadcasted from PRINTERS ROW Chicago. In 1998 with my hard-earned work experience in business, I found myself working in a posh boutique firm of investment banking as one of the world most prestigious -located in Chicago's financial district. Conservatory studies in the arts was over, and the most wonderful opportunities in employment in Americas most elite jobs rained down on me surprisingly. Later being invited as an international lecturer in 2009 was a surprise too. Speaking about cultural arts learning and higher educational reach for the world was exciting and my lecture was well received in Chicago and throughout arts colleges all over the world. In 2009 and 2010 my work on chair designs made from a champagne cork and wire, won design awards with Rob Forbes retail firm -DESIGN WITHIN REACH, that which brought excitement in a national design tour with my chair design front and center, traveling in the toured exhibition openings in 50 states beginning in Manhattan NYC and ending in Honolulu Hawaii. And what fun. I followed with a book of 60 chair designed as I was so pleased. In 2021 Rob Forbes began a project called 50/50 foundation as he himself invited me to be a business mentor to businesses primarily owned by African American entrepreneurs. Arts and business are exciting.
A decision I made in 2011, to move to SOHO NYC from my southern estate for good -where I began a series of arts exhibitions in person in the two largest art cities of the United States of America. As in Chicago IL., and NYC Manhattan, NY. which are prominently rank the largest of art markets in the USA and are major art metropolises of the world even, formidably. My exhibitions from SOHO NYC, were also online, and of -arts -economy -and peace, and very exciting as arts exhibitions go. I also traveled to Seattle Washington with further exhibitions in the arts. The focus of many more of my exhibitions continued in Manhattan into 2018 with the highlight on economic peace.
You may have seen my online exhibition titled LETTERS TO RUSSIA which became well noted.
Society memberships beginning in 2003 for me, set a more solid assurance to a continuum of art projects. The Chicago Artist Coalition, the A1 Artist Society in Knoxville Tennessee, the KMA Guild of Southern Artists, The New York Foundation for the Arts, the California College Arts Association, and the College Arts Association in Manhattan as one of the oldest arts societies of the world, were all instrumental in keeping me atoned of broader perspectives in the arts. The many societies of the arts foster more of the arts in serious ways. And are simply fantastic. The numerous societies host a notable and internationally renowned presence of -members -artist and -art historians living and working in the states and abroad -throughout the entire world. Within the future of the new year and years to come, I have hopes of a continuum of my worthy projects in the arts. While I was residing in Tennessee, I developed and implemented an independent lecture project in the arts with experiential learning through fundamentals of classical methodology in the processes of learning about world art and creating as a unique self-expression for the student population within making their works of art. Receiving a Governors honor in the state of Tennessee in the USA, for my work in my numerous cultural arts programs, I was thrilled to be recognized by the Governor's office in the beautiful southern region. Expanding my work in museums in many countries is a hope and it may take years. Museum planning boards often take two years to see through major exhibitions planning and project reviews. Hopefully I have time and great luck, as I wish to find my works of art in far reaches of the world one day. Russia's PUSHKIN MUSEUM of ART might be a perfect place to start in 2022. The Puskin, the Louvre in France, The British Museum, perhaps the Guggenheim in the middle east one day. Visiting St. Petersburg Russia would be splendid too and Adu Dhabi in the MIDDLE EAST and even Africa's Johannesburg. The Bejing center for design would be marvelous to visit or see a project in the arts through and Trinadad too. While the museums are endless in the world. The arts are complex, as it takes much more than planning. Wish me luck as I too wish you luck as maybe you too -will think to enjoy a plan or two of your own in 2022 and beyond. With travels throughout the USA or other parts of the world. Save a little money and dream big dreams with the love of your own vibrant life and a camera to bring home memories to treasure and share easily at flickr online free. I wish you all -peace and -love -within a greater humanity forever true.
May there be peace and prosperity for all in 2022 and beyond.

Both arts conservatories are located on Michigan Avenue in Chicago with opportune exposure to the Chicago Business Loop. It is a busy place to get around in with the largest business district in the USA and many corporate headquarter offices blended with a broad creative business district. The largest USA design trade exhibitions are held in Chicago every year as well as art trade shows that are world renowned, with international museum culture everywhere and the finest in international art. The major libraries are a dream with wonderful lecturers, performances, and then there are the live theaters, the Russian Tea Room, the Joffrey Ballet, and Symphony Center, with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra where Lenord Bernstein used to spend his Saturdays teaching children and grown audiences more about classical music of course. Chicago conservatories are unlike any other. Visiting Chicago is also quite wonderful. Enjoy travels wherever you go.
Read more in my up and coming book about my American life within an international world of the arts. The MADNESS of LADY TRACY: the book -is with a final version in the spring of 2022. A true-life story that is invigorating, and surprising about -art -and love -of an entire world within a great creative madness for the arts.

травы навсегда. зеленый
translation: GRASSES FOREVER GREEN
Всему миру: пусть у вас будет покой в познании плодов ваших собственных усилий с большей любовью, которую вы знаете, пребывая в человечестве, большем, чем сумма одного. На другом конце света, пусть вы считаете священной реальность присутствия всего мира, на который вы повлияли, в самом кротком и эквивалентном самом смелом в любви завтрашнего дня, как слишком прошлое большего существования.
Translation in English:
To the whole world: may you have peace in knowing the fruits of your own endeavors with a greater love you know residing in a humanity greater than the sum of one. To the other side of the world, may you hold sacred the reality of a presence of the whole of a world you affected in the meekest and equivalent of the most bold, in love of tomorrow, as too a past of greater existence.
