She is now 82. I have been visiting her since I was 13. Now at almost 50 I realized I had the rare thing for a girl of my time. A role model who was a woman AND an artist.

About Me
- c.o. moed
- MY PRIVATE CONEY presents IT WAS HER NEW YORK, the short stories that accompany the work-in-progress video and photo collection of the same name (myprivateconey.com - media link - IT WAS HER NEW YORK). The stories and the media explore the tender rubble that holds both my mother, Florence's and New York's soul as one disappears into old age and the other into gentrification. All are real observations and/or experiences with very little tall-tale telling. Except when it makes the story better. Please visit myprivateconey.com for additional information and sample works.

She's beautiful! There's a radiance that you capture in your picture. I remember reading about artists when I was little, and they were all "he." It had an impression: artists are men. Luckily, not one that lasted!
